A certified account cannot charge overdraft or NSF fees. Some institutions offer overdraft coverage as a separate service you would have to opt into.

The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
