Overdraft Protection and Privilege
We have two affordable options to cover an unexpected shortage of funds in your checking account. Overdraft Protection allows you to link your checking and savings to cover the shortage made by checks, pre-authorized debits, and bill payments, for a nominal transfer fee of $5. With Overdraft Privilege, we will cover your transaction if you run low on funds made by checks, pre-authorized debits, and bill payments, all for an affordable fee of $31. In addition, you can sign up to cover overdrafts on ATM and one-time debit card transactions for the same $31 fee. This is not a line of credit, however; if you inadvertently overdraw your account, USECU will have the discretion to pay the overdraft, subject to you Overdraft Privilege limit. An overdrawn balance must be repaid in 30 days. Mistakes happen, but we’ve got you covered – avoid the embarrassment of returned items and get the peace of mind that you deserve.
Direct Deposit
Direct Deposit means one less trip to the Credit Union to deposit your paychecks and no fear of losing your payroll check. Set up direct deposit with your employer and your paycheck will be automatically deposited into your checking or savings account. Your money will be right where you need it when you need it. It’s that easy!
