Answer:
Overdrafts are repaid when the next deposit is made. While these are loans the bank has made, they are not necessarily loans under Reg. Z, requiring appropriate disclosures.
Section 226.1 (c)(iii) identifies coverage is applicable when the credit is subject to a finance charge or is payable by a written agreement in more than 4 installments.
Overdrafts are generally charged a servicing or processing fee, not a finance charge, and are due immediately, not in payments.
