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:
- We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.
- We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a transfer from a share account, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices.
To learn more about these plans click here for more information.
This attached notice explains our standard overdraft practices.
