Did You Know
Courtesy Pay Overdraft
We can help you avoid costly returned check fees from retailers (and the embarrassment that goes with it) with Courtesy Pay Overdraft (CPO). After all your pre-established overdraft protection options have been exhausted, rather than automatically returning your non-sufficient fund items as unpaid, we will consider, without obligation on our part, payment of your reasonable checking account overdrafts.
 
Whether your overdrafts will be paid is discretionary and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, or you are not making regular deposits, or you have too many overdrafts. Refer to the CPO policy for details. A $25 fee will be charged for the payment of each overdraft, as set forth in our fee schedule. The $25 fee is imposed for overdrafts created by checks, in-person withdrawals, ATM withdrawals, or by electronic means, as applicable. Overdrafts must be repaid in 45 days or your account may possibly be closed.
