Overdraft Privilege (ODP) – No Action Required

Our ODP program allows an account to be overdrawn up to $800 to pay charges on your behalf in situations where you may have insufficient funds. This service is applied only after your other overdraft protection options have been exhausted. This feature is already a part of your checking account.

This service pays checks, ACH automatic debits, recurring Debit Card payments, and online Bill Pay items. Overdrawn balances must be paid by the 45th day of being negative to avoid charge off. Overdraft Privilege (ODP) is suspended when the account reaches 35 days negative. Overdraft Privilege (ODP) transactions may be declined if an account has exceeded the program allowance ($800 ODP) or a negative balance has not been repaid. Members will be charged the normal $32.00 fee for each paid item presented.

Reg E Opt-In – Action Required*

An optional enhancement to Overdraft Privilege to also cover ATM and everyday debit card transactions. To take advantage of this optional enhancement you must opt-in to this service. Similar to Overdraft Privilege, there is no fee to have this service on your account. You are only charged if you use it. Members will be charged the normal $32.00 fee for each paid item presented. Whether the item is paid or returned, the member will be assessed the same overdraft fee. Please click here to access our Rate and Fee Schedule for details.

Quick Note: One fee is better than two! If we did not cover your overdraft, you would pay twice – one fee from the credit union and one from the merchant. Merchants and retailers set their own fees for returned items, typically between $25 and $75 per item.

*If you want us to pay ATM and one time debit card transactions that would overdraw your account we need your affirmative consent to do so.

WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO OPT-OUT…

If funds in your account are not available, ATM and everyday debit card transactions will be declined when you

have insufficient funds.

WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO OPT-IN…

If you want to OPT-IN to authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions, please visit any one of our branch locations or you can call us at 800.357.9654.
