OVERDRAFT PROTECTION

It is important for you to use your checking account responsibly and never intentionally overdraw your account. However, we realize that financial shortfalls happen from time to time and we have several options available for you.

Transfer from another account

If you have other accounts with us you can authorize us to transfer the funds needed to cover your overdraft. This can be from a savings, checking, or money market account. Then when an item is presented that will overdraw your account, the money will automatically be transferred to cover the shortage. Simply complete the form to authorize a transfer of funds.

What is a personal line of credit?

A personal line of credit is a type of unsecured revolving credit account. You can draw funds from your personal credit line up to the limit. Similar to a personal credit card, you can borrow as needed, pay back what you borrowed, and borrow again. Our ReadyLine is also linked to your checking account for automatic overdraft protection.
