Business Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit facility that offers transactional capabilities and easy access to funds within an approved limit. Essentially, you apply for an approved limit and then you can access and draw down the funds within that limit at any time and through any channel, without having to contact your Relationship Executive. Although the features of the Business Line of Credit facility are similar to those of an overdraft, the main differentiation is that the Business Line of Credit is designed for core or long term debt and the client's balance is expected to fluctuate near the total approved limit (as opposed to between positive and negative balance like an overdraft) and seldom to hold a credit balance.
