Overdraft ServicesOVERDRAFT LINE OF CREDITYou can have access to up to $2,000 to cover checking account transactions.* Since you only pay interest if the line of credit is used, you can save money on overdraft fees.

OVERDRAFT PROTECTION SOURCESLink to your Credit Union account(s) to help cover items you’re paying from your checking account. If you don't have enough money to cover a charge, we'll transfer funds from your eligible linked accounts in increments of $100 or the available balance of your share account if your balance is less than $100. A $5 fee** applies for each transfer.

BOUNCE PROTECTION PLUSThis option extends overdraft coverage for everyday one-time consumer debit card and ATM transactions from your checking account. If you don’t have enough money in checking to cover a charge, Bounce Protection Plus can cover those items — until your account has a balance of negative $500. Transactions of $20 or less will be paid with no fee. A $25 fee applies for a charge greater than $20. You'll pay no more than one fee, regardless of how many transactions overdraw your account within a 24-hour period starting at 9 p.m. CT. 

* Loans are subject to credit approval and Credit Union lending guidelines. Member must be in good standing. See our Rate Schedule for more information.
** Refer to the Fee Schedule for applicable fees.

BOUNCE PROTECTIONThis is our standard overdraft coverage for bills and other payments made by Automated Clearing House (ACH), checks and recurring debit card transactions. If you don’t have enough money in checking to cover a charge, Bounce Protection can cover those items — until your account has a balance of negative $500. Transactions of $20 or less will be paid with no fee. A $25 fee applies for a charge greater than $20. You'll pay no more than one fee, regardless of how many transactions overdraw your account within a 24-hour period starting at 9 p.m. CT.
Youth & Young AdultsIn addition to our uChecking account, we offer the following services to our young adult members:

Share Account (Savings)If you are new to the Credit Union, all you need to join is $6. This includes your one-time $1 membership fee and a $5 minimum deposit. Our share account pays you back a higher than average dividend than most banks. See our Rate and Fee Schedule for more information.
