"I kept overdrafting my account even though I opted out"

Is this some SovCit shit where they think "opting out" of the terms of service for their bank account is an option?

what do you mean? If I try to pay with an empty bank account the transaction is simply denied.

Nothing sovcit about not wanting the bank to give you what's essentially a small expensive loan.

In fact, overdraft protection is typically opt-in, so just don't sign up for it and you're golden.

The only overdraft I use is self-funded overdraft where it pulls from savings instead of a tiny bank loan. I have it send me a notification when that happens so I can tell when my cash flow is wonky.
