Overdraft Opt-in

FAQs: Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees

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


We cover overdrafts in two ways:

  1. We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.
  2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account or a link to a credit line which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices.

Standard overdraft practices

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 (opt-in):

  • ATM transactions.
  • Everyday debit card 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.

Overdraft Fees

Under our standard overdraft practices:

  • We will charge you a fee of $32 each time we pay an overdraft. We limit the number of overdraft fees that we charge you to 5 per day.
  • Also, if your account is overdrawn for 10 consecutive business days or more, we will charge you an additional $5 per day, until you bring your account positive. There is no limit to the number of daily charges we may assess you.
