Over here in Australia most banks will let you withdraw slightly more money than you have, and then happily charge you a high interest rate on the overdrawn amount. And a friend in the US told me that she emptied out an account and her husband left an ISP account doing direct debit from it (even though he didn't need the account any more). The US bank quite happily honoured the direct debit from the ISP, taking the account balance negative, and then charged about $30 per day in overdraft fees. Now--those account details???
