Overdraft Protection

Protects your checking account from insufficient funds by automatically transferring funds, in the event of an overdraft.

Can transfer funds in two ways:

    • From savings ($3 fee per item).
    • From Visa® by a cash advance.

Enhanced Overdraft Protection (EOP)

Works in conjunction with overdraft protection to prevent paper checks, ACH (automated clearing house) and recurring debit card transactions from being returned for insufficient funds. In the event you exhaust all other overdraw protection options that apply to your account, the Credit Union may, under our Enhanced Overdraft Protection attempt to pay qualifying transaction(s), when possible, and charge you an EOP fee. This will place your checking account in the negative up to a limit, as determined by the Credit Union. Your EOP limit is subject to change at the discretion of the Credit Union. 

  • Available to members in good standing, age 18 and older.
  • There is a $32 charge for each item cleared using EOP.
