How Does it Work? |
Link an eligible account to cover overdrafts. Each time a transaction is presented against insufficient funds, your linked account will transfer the money necessary to bring your balance to zero. |
Links your checking account to a line of credit (subject to approval.) Money is disbursed in $100 increments to the overdrawn account. The transfer takes place once daily as required to cover any overdrawn balances. |
If there isn't enough money in your account to cover a transaction, we may, at our discretion, cover that transaction for you. |
This extended standard overdraft coverage is for everyday debit card purchases and ATM withdrawals if you enroll. 3 |

3Banking regulations require that customers "opt-in" to this additional coverage before we can cover overdrafts for ATM and debit card transactions.
4The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be fixed at 17.00%. You will be charged interest from the transaction date. We will use a method called "average daily balance including current transactions" to compute the finance charge. The minimum monthly payment required is 3% of the outstanding balance including finance charges, or $25, whichever is greater, but not more than the outstanding balance.
