Transactions confused with interest : free overdrafts, are they permissible ?

Fatawa Question

It is the practice of many of the banks in my country to offer an interest free overdraft to students as an incentive to open a bank account with them. Could you advise as to what the position of the Shari’ah is regarding Muslims accepting such overdrafts. Jazaka Allahu Khair in advance.
