An overdraft fee can occur if you have overdraft protection set up on your savings account and you did not have enough money in the checking account to cover a transaction clearing your checking account. The charge is $2.00 per overdraft. An insufficient funds fee can occur if you write a check for more than the amount you have available in your checking account. The charge for this is $26.00 per insufficient check.

This is either due to a hold on a check deposit, a share branch deposit, an ATM deposit, or a debit card authorization.

Privilege pay is suspended if your account is negative past 30 days. If your account is not paid in full in 45 days the account is closed and charged off. If the account is paid in full before the 45 days the privilege pay will be reinstated when the account has a positive balance for a full business day
