Dormant Account Fee

Dormant accounts will incur a fee of $10 per month until the dormant status is removed. We notify account holders via phone and mail of dormant accounts. Dormant accounts have less than a total of $300 on deposit in share and term share accounts, with no member transactions for 12 consecutive months. Transactions include deposits, withdrawals, or transfers.

If you know your account has been inactive for the past year, please consider visiting one of our 13 convenient branch locations and make a deposit, withdrawal, or transfer to avoid this fee. Please contact our Contact Center at 1.800.650.6328 to further discuss a dormant account or if you have additional questions.


Accounts will be assessed the "Overdraft Privilege Fee (Standard or Extended Coverage) for handling each overdraft created by checks, ACH transactions (automatic debits), recurring debit card transactions, online bill pay items, On-Us Items Cashed by Non-Members, and everyday debit card transactions. An overdrawn balance must be repaid within 32 days. We may not pay items under your Overdraft Privilege if you do not maintain your account in good standing by bringing your account to a positive balance within every thirty-two (32) day period for a minimum of 24 hours, if you default on any loan or other obligation to us or if your account is subject to any legal or administrative order or levy. 

An NSF Return Fee is assessed each time an item is presented against insuffiecient funds. Any item (check, ACH, or other electronic transaction) that is initially returned to the payee because the Available Balance in your account was not sufficient to cover the item can be represented by the payee for payment multiple times, which is beyond our control. We will charge an overdraft or return item fee regardless of the number of times an item is presented to us for payment against insufficient funds, and regardless of whether we pay or return the item.
