OVERDRAFT PRIVILEGE PROGRAM

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT 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 can cover your overdrafts in two different ways: 

  1. We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.
  2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a transfer from a share account, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices.

This attached notice explains our standard overdraft practices.
