An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:
1. We have standard overdraft practices that come with
your account.
2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a
link to a savings account, which may be less
expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To
earn more, ask us about these plans. This notice
explains our standard overdraft practices.
