Overdraft Services

Overdraft Services

We understand there are times your Checking Account may accidentally be overdrawn, and that is why we provide a Discretionary Overdraft Privilege service. Other options for you to consider may save you money and include:

Automatic Account Overdraft Protection

  • Automatically moves money from your Savings to Checking to pay for overdrafts, as long as funds are available.

Overdraft Protection Line of Credit

  • We may cover overdrafts in your checking account up to your available Overdraft Protection Line of Credit limit. Interest is charged only on the amounts you borrow.
  • Exact amount of the overdraft is transferred from the Overdraft Protection Line of Credit rather than a larger minimum amount.
  • Subject to credit approval.
