Can I still overdraft with a negative balance
Your balance goes negative when you have withdrawn more than you have in your account. When this happens, if you wrote a check, it will bounce, or be returned — unless you have overdraft protection. In that case, the bank will pay the difference, and you will be charged a fee called an overdraft fee.
