Overdraft Protection

A benefit of your checking account, overdraft protection is there to protect you from returned checks. Instead of returning the checks, we will automatically pay them for you, up to your security limit.

Eligibility:

Bounce Proof Security is a benefit of most personal checking accounts.

This benefit may be withdrawn at the Bank’s discretion.

New accounts must remain in good standing and maintain a positive balance for at least 30 days to be eligible.

You must enroll in Bounce Proof Plus in order for ATM & Debit transactions to be paid into overdraft.

Personal checking accounts that are not eligible for Bounce Proof Security are: Pathway, Representative Payee, Estate, Health Savings Accounts, EPA, Minor, and Money Market checking accounts.

How it works:

Bounce Proof Security will generally pay overdrafts up to your limit, with a maximum overdraft of $500.

An overdraft fee of $35 per item will apply, whether the overdraft is caused by check, in-person withdrawal, or electronic means.

Overdrafts must be repaid within 30 days.

Your account will be charged the $35 overdraft fee only for the first six overdraft items each business day. Any overdraft items after the first six on any one business day will not be charged an overdraft fee.

If your account is overdrawn by $5.00 or less, an overdraft fee will not be charged. If the item that overdraws your account is $5.00 or less, an overdraft fee will not be assessed.

Whether your overdrafts will be paid is discretionary and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing.*

Overdraft Protection Notices & Preferences

*Good standing includes at least: making regular deposits consistent with your past practices; not being in default on any loan obligation to the Bank; not being subject to any legal or administrative order or levy.

Bounce Proof Plus

In addition to the features of Bounce Proof Security, enrollment in Bounce Proof Plus allows account holders to use overdraft protection for everyday debit card and ATM transactions. There is no enrollment fee for Bounce Proof Plus enrollment. An overdraft fee of $35 per item will apply if you overdraw your account using your ATM or Debit Card.

The fee for Safety Link is $10.00 per transfer. Safety Link transfers the amount required to cover the presented item plus $10.00 to cover the transfer fee, which leaves the account at a $0.00 balance after the transfer.
