Are there any penalties for attempting to overdraft my Direct Express card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nAttempting to overdraft your Direct Express card does not result in penalties.

Is my Direct Express card similar to a traditional bank account?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nWhile the Direct Express card allows you to receive and make payments, it differs from a traditional bank account as it does not provide features such as overdraft protection, check-writing privileges, or the ability to earn interest on your balance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Can_I_use_my_Direct_Express_card_for_cash_advances\"><\/span>10.
