WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OVERDRAFTS AND OVERDRAFT FEES
An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:
- We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account. If you wish to not have the standard overdraft practices please contact us.
- We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, speak with an Extraco relationship manager today.
What are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account?
We do authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:
- Checks and other transactions made using your checking account number.
- Automatic bill payments.
- Checks converted to an electronic (ACH) transaction by the merchant or business.
- ATM transactions.
- Everyday debit card transactions.
Generally, accounts may become overdrawn to the maximum amount of $101. For accounts with at least $500 in direct deposits per statement cycle, it may be possible, upon request, for the $101 limit to be increased to $500.
We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. With or without advance notice, overdraft service may be partially or entirely suspended or terminated, if: (a) overdrafts are not cleared or likely to be cleared for one full business day every 32 days; (b) in our opinion, overdrafts occurred or are likely to occur on other than the occasional inadvertent basis; (c) overdrafts in our judgment are used or likely to be used routinely or intentionally or as a continuing source of credit; or (d) deemed appropriate for any other reason at our sole discretion. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.
Overdraft protection is provided as a customer service to cover occasional inadvertent overdrafts. It is not intended to be used for routine or intentional overdrafts or as a continual source of credit. Instead, the traditional lines of credit and other credit products that we offer should be used for such purposes.
What fees will be charged if Extraco Banks pays my overdraft?
Under our standard overdraft practices:
- We will charge you a fee of up to $35 each time we pay an overdraft.
- The total overdraft fees we will charge you for overdrawing your account will not exceed 4 overdraft fees per day.
