Standard Overdraft Practices

We authorize and pay overdrafts for checking account transactions, automatic bill payments, and ACH payments. ATM and debit card transactions are not included. If we do not authorize the overdraft payment, the transaction will be declined.

Overdraft Fees

You will be charged a fee of $34.98 every time we pay for an overdraft – with a maximum fee of $174.90 per day. If your account is overdrawn for more than 7 consecutive business days, we will charge a fee of $5 for each business day.
