What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees

1.
Courtesy Pay Program
2.
Auto Transfer Plans

This notice explains our Courtesy Pay Program.
What is the Courtesy Pay Program?
We may authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:
1. Checks and other transactions made using your checking account
2. Automatic bill payments
We
do not
authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you Opt-In (see below):
1. One time debit card transactions (non-recurring transactions)
2. ATM transactions
We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we do not authorize your transaction, it will be declined.

1. We will charge a fee of $35 each time you overdraw your account and we pay the overdraft.
2. Also, if your account is overdrawn, we will charge an additional $5.00 per day.
3. There is no limit on the total fees we can charge you for overdrawing your account.
