Bank fees, overdraft and returned payments

A returned bill and a negative balance need different fixes. Find out which fee you were charged, what the Canadian NSF rules cover, and how to compare the cost of covering a gap.

Is an NSF fee the same as an overdraft fee?

No. An NSF fee relates to a payment that could not be covered. Overdraft means the account went below zero. Check whether the bill was paid before deciding what to do next.
