"occasional overdraft" is also a possibility, but I know the term "temporary overdraft" better.

A little info on overdrafts:

An overdraft occurs when withdrawals from a bank account exceed the available balance; i.e. over-drawings. This gives the account a negative balance and in effective means the account provider is offering credit.

If there is a prior agreement with the account provider for an overdraft facility, and the amount overdrawn is within this authorised overdraft, then interest is normally charged at the agreed rate. If the balance exceeds the agreed facility then fees may be charged and higher interest rate might apply.

neutral  Kim Metzger: Word-for-word is always risky. Contratado is arranged or agreed. In banking we speak of "arranged" overdraft facilities, not contractual.
