Overdraft Protection
Retain Balance 24/7. We’ve got you covered.
Overdraft Protection
Helps you prevent overdrafts while enabling you to make transactions and purchases with your debit card even when sufficient funds aren’t available in your account.
Courtesy Pay
Courtesy Pay is a safeguard to protect against unexpected mistakes that overdraw your checking account balance. It provides the security of knowing your transaction will be processed and saves you from incurring additional charges from merchants due to insufficient funds to cover a transaction. The member must cover the overdraft within a three day period.
If you use Courtesy Pay, you will incur a non-refundable fee of $35.00 for the convenience of knowing your transaction is covered. See our Overdraft Services Consent form.
Courtesy Pay is automatically provided for checks, ACH and recurring transactions from your checking account, but you must opt in to add Courtesy Pay for your debit card and ATM transactions.
