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 offer a standard overdraft practice that is available with your account called Discretionary Overdraft Privilege.
You may choose to participate in this plan if you meet the qualifications. To learn more, ask us about this plan.
- We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account, which may be less expensive than
our standard plan. To learn more, ask us about this plan.
