Overdraft Protection

Back

As your community bank we understand that life isn’t always predictable, and unforeseen expenses can leave your checking account vulnerable to overdrafts. That’s why we have overdraft protection plans in place, to help you cover the cost of merchant fees and provide a safety net for the infrequent times when you need a little back up.

Bounce Protection limits may be available for

Checks and transactions made using your checking account number
Automatic bill payment and recurring debit card payments
ATM transfers or withdrawals
Everyday debit card purchases

This special overdraft protection service is a non-contractual courtesy for all customers! Simply keep your account in “good-standing,” and we may approve your overdraft items within your limit!
