How to avoid Insufficient Funds in Accounts

If you want to leave as much of your money in your Bangkok Bank savings account as possible but don't want to risk your cheques being returned for lack of funds, you can protect your cheque account with an overdraft protection agreement. It will automatically transfer the necessary funds from your savings account into your current account which ensures that you have enough to cover your transactions at all times.
