Courtesy Pay Opt-In Form

Overdraft Program

Courtesy Pay

We recognize that, even under the best of circumstances, mistakes or events happen which could result in an account being overdrawn. Our Overdraft program, also referred to as Courtesy Pay, is a non-contractual service which allows the bank's discretionary payment of overdrafts for those accounts maintained in good standing. There is no charge to have Courtesy Pay available with your account; however a $35 fee is charged each time you utilize the service.

What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees

An overdraft occurs when a check, debit card, ATM or other electronic transaction is presented to the bank and the balance in your account is insufficient to settle the transaction, or funds previously deposited have not been made available. Depending on your arrangements with the bank, we can resolve your overdrafts in the following manners:
