Overdraft Protection Services

Alerts

With alerts you can set-up email notifications to let you know when your checking account balance is low, you have exceeded your budget, reached a goal, and much more. Alerts allow you to manage your balances easily and avoid overdrafts and fees associated with overdraft protection services. To set-up your alerts, just login to Online Banking and select Settings and the Notifications tab.

By establishing an Overdraft Line of Credit, you can write yourself a loan as needed to protect your checking account from overdrafts. Your line of credit will be automatically accessed when a debit transaction exceeds your available account balance. Approval is subject to your credit worthiness with this overdraft option and you must apply.

• $300 minimum to $1,500 maximum credit limit
• Fixed interest rate
• Interest is calculated on the outstanding balance only
• Flexibility to give yourself extra cash when you need it
