***You can choose to have funds transferred from your savings account or additional checking account to cover amounts more than your available balance.
 
**** Overdraft Privilege is a discretionary overdraft service, requiring no action on your part, that provides you a safety net up to an automatically assigned overdraft limit. Your Overdraft Privilege Intelligent limit may be available for checks and other transactions made using your checking account number, such as an automatic (ACH) payment transaction, automatic bill payment or recurring debit card payment. If you request us to do so (opt in), we may authorize ATM transfers or withdrawals and everyday debit card purchases using your available balance and your Overdraft Privilege limit. For business accounts the limit may be available for ATM and everyday debit card transactions with no action required. Balances displayed do not include the Overdraft Privilege limit. There is no additional cost associated with Overdraft Privilege unless you use it. If you do use the Overdraft Privilege limit, you will be charged our paid item OD Privilege fee of $32 for each overdrawn item created by checks and other transactions made using your checking account number, such as an automatic payment (ACH) transaction, automatic bill payment, or recurring debit card payment. For Overdraft Privilege consideration, your account is in “good standing” if you (1) make sufficient deposits to bring your account to a positive end-of-day balance at least once every 30 calendar days (including the payment of all credit union fees and charges); (2) avoid excessive overdrafts suggesting the use of Overdraft Privilege as a continuing line of credit; and (3) have no legal orders, levies or liens against your account.
