I am no banking expert, but I think it has to do with allowing overdrafts over a certain period of time. A term overdraft could mean allowing a customer to overdraft on their account for 48-72 hours without incurring fees. A contracted overdraft could mean allowing the customers to link other accounts, such as savings or a credit card to cover the non-sufficient funds in their checking account.

I would say: Sobregiro preautorizado y sobregiro respaldado por otras cuentas.
