Overdraft Protection Opt-In Information

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdraft using our standard overdraft practices.

Standard Overdraft Practices

What are the Standard overdraft practices that come with my account?

  • We DO authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:
    • Checks and other transactions made using your Checking Account Number
    • Automatic Bill Payments
  • We DO NOT authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to (see below):
    • Everyday debit card transactions
    • ATM Transactions

We pay overdrafts at our discretion which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.  If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft your transaction will be declined.
