PNC Simple Checking has guardrails to help prevent overspending

If your balance isn’t enough, we simply decline the charge and won’t charge you an overdraft fee

There are situations where your account may still become overdrawn. For example, gas stations often pre-authorize a set amount before they know the total, which might be less than what you actually spend. If you spend more than what's available in your account, because the transaction is already authorized, your account will become overdrawn. You still won't be charged a fee in these cases.
