Overdraft Protection

Whether it's a flat tire or an unexpected bill, our Overdraft Protection gives you peace of mind. By automatically transferring any necessary funds from a designated source to your checking account, our free service means you don't have to worry about fees or if you have enough money to cover a purchase. There is no charge, no transfer fee, and no non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee for use of this service when activated on your account.
