Why overdrafts cost more than they seem

An overdraft is flexible, but the bank can reduce or withdraw it at short notice, and the rate is often high and variable. Many companies end up permanently overdrawn, paying interest month after month without ever clearing the balance.

Clearing it with a fixed 5.00% loan turns that open-ended cost into a clear plan: one rate, one monthly repayment, and a date when the debt is gone.
