He has an overdraft on his account almost every month.

He has an overdraft on his account almost every month.

He overdraw on his account almost every month.

Do both of the above sound right and convey the same idea? Thanks.

The second casts responsibility more directly onto the account holder. In addition, I think the preposition should change (personal opinion): He has an overdraft to his account almost every month. He overdraws his account almost every month.

Before I changed it, I tried to find an online example, but could not. Nevertheless, I feel that to is the correct preposition because credits and debits are posted to an account. I have no other reason or proof. I may well be wrong.
