Understanding your options
Overdraft protection
You can link your checking account with a savings or money market account to cover overdrafts.
Lines of Credit can also be used as overdraft protection for a checking account. There are no fees for these transfers, but the loan will accrue interest based on your APR. You can use either a personal line of credit or a home equity line of credit for overdraft protection. Set up overdraft protection in any branch, over the phone, or online.

Courtesy pay
If your insufficient funds can't be covered by overdraft protection, courtesy pay is your backup. We will temporarily fund your check, ACH debit, bill pay, or recurring debit transaction—so you can avoid returned checks and hefty late fees.

Extra courtesy pay
Extra courtesy pay works just like regular courtesy pay, but it also covers non-recurring everyday debit card transactions. If you're interested in extra courtesy pay, give us a ring or stop by your nearest branch.
