However, you could still end up with a negative balance if, for example, a transaction is approved for one amount, but then the actual charge is more than what you have in your account. This could also include, but is not limited to, preauthorized ACH transfers that are scheduled, recurring, and/or pending but have not yet settled. In some instances, we may try to cancel or recoup funds from transfers made with the invalid funds due to an ACH or check return. If your account balance remains negative, activity will be evaluated, and your account could be closed.
