Natwest Adapt Overdraft

Ok. So Friday i bought something with my Natwest Adapt account at the COOP. The money has not taken out of my account yet. But today someone hacked my PayPal and bought a ton of things wiping out my card. I have requested refunds for the things, but the refunds have not come through yet. I am worried that the COOP items have been paid for on my card on my empty account, that i will go overdrawn and be charged a fee? Is there a fee. Please help! :mad:

    Natwest Adapt accounts cant go overdrawn.

    If there was not enough funds in the account the transaction should have been declined.

    Plus minors cant be charged for going overdrawn should they do so.

    Sometimes there can be a few day delay in the funds debiting your account.

    You will go overdrawn but you wont be charged.

    If you do get charged you need to contact the bank and remind them your under 18 :D

  • Ok. So when the refund comes through it will cover the overdrawn amount.
