TD Small Business Overdraft Relief

Your business is moving fast. Life happens—and so do overdrafts. With a TD Small Business Checking account, you have options for what happens when you don't have enough funds to cover your transactions.


Manage your money with confidence

We're always evolving our services to give you even more flexibility.

All our Small Business accounts come with:

  • No fee if you overdraw by $50 or less
  • A Grace Period1 that gives you until 11 PM ET the next business day to fix an overdraft and avoid fees
  • Standard Overdraft Service: we may allow ACH payments, recurring debit transactions and checks to go through for a fee when you're short on funds
  • Discretionary Overdraft Service: we may authorize and pay one-time debit card or ATM transactions. A fee may apply. This is the default option on small business accounts

Log in or sign up for Small Business Online Banking so you can keep a close eye on your balance and avoid overdrafts.

How does my Grace Period work?

 

Our Grace Period1 gives you until 11 PM ET the next business day to fix an overdraft. Here's how it works:

  1. Make sure your available balance is at least $0 by depositing enough to cover the overdrawn balance plus any additional transactions (for example, a scheduled payment or a recent check), as of 11 PM ET the next business day2

  2. We'll refund the overdraft fee to your checking account as long as your available account balance is at least $02 at the end of the Grace Period

The fundamentals of TD Small Business Overdraft Relief

  1. What is an overdraft fee?
    An overdraft occurs when your available account balance is not sufficient to cover a transaction. There is a $35 fee per overdraft up to 5 overdraft fees per day per account

  2. How do overdrafts happen?
    An overdraft occurs when your available account balance is not sufficient to cover a transaction. If you overdraw your available account balance in your checking account by $50 or less, we won't charge you an overdraft fee. Find more about posting order in your account guide*

  3. What are overdraft services?
    They're the options you have for how you want TD Bank to manage your small business checking account in the case of an overdraft, including Standard Overdraft Service, Discretionary Overdraft Service3, Savings Overdraft Protection3 and Overdraft Protection Line of Credit3,4

  1. Are there tools to help track my spending?
    Keep track of your account activity and balance with the TD Bank app. You can also set up custom e-mail alerts at different balance levels to help you monitor spending in Small Business Online Banking

  2. I have a pending debit card transaction that made my account overdrawn- am I in a Grace Period?
    A pending debit card transaction will not initiate a Grace Period until it is posted. However, it can further reduce your available balance and will need to be taken into account when bringing your account positive again, if you are in a Grace Period. Once the debit card transaction is posted and no longer pending, if you are overdrawn by more than $50 without any same day deposits, you may be in a Grace Period. If your debit card transaction was authorized at the time you had sufficient funds in your checking account to cover the transaction but later posted when your account did not have sufficient funds, you will not be charged an overdraft fee. Keep up with your account via Online Banking.
