Overdraft Protection

What is Overdraft Protection?

Funds will automatically be transferred from your primary savings account to your checking account to cover overdrafts; however, transaction limits apply. Regulation D allows for up to a maximum of six (6) withdrawals, overdraft protection transfers, electronic funds transfers/automatic withdrawals (EFT/ACH), debit card transactions, online banking, telephone or facsimile transfers per month.

Please Note: Regulation D is a directive of the Federal Government and applies to all financial institutions.

Overdraft Protection may also be transferred from your Line of Credit (LOC).

Overdraft Tolerance

What are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account?

We may authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:

• checks and other transactions made using your checking account number
• automatic bill payments

We will not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to. (If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.)

• ATM transactions
• everyday debit card transactions

We will provide a $500.00 overdraft limit to all transaction accounts that are eligible, which means we pay any type of transaction up to that limit, including overdraft fees. We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. Overdraft items will be posted in accordance with our existing share draft procedures.

Note: Members who currently have Overdraft Protection from a savings account and/or Line of Credit will continue to have access to that service prior to accessing Overdraft Tolerance.

Who is eligible for Overdraft Tolerance?

• all members 18 years of age and older (after 90 days of membership)
• members who have made a minimum of three deposits totaling at least $500.00
• accounts in good standing (make regular deposits and bring account to a positive balance at least once every 30 days, no loans with AGCU past due more than 30 days, haven’t caused a loss to AGCU, not subject to any legal or administrative order or levy)

What fees will I be charged if AGCU pays my overdraft?

Under our Overdraft Tolerance program, you will be charged a $28.00 fee each time we pay an overdraft. There is no limit on the total fees we can charge you for overdrawing your account.

What if I want AGCU to authorize and pay overdrafts on my ATM and everyday debit card transactions?
