Courtesy Pay Overdraft Privilege
We understand that when you're busy it's easy to lose track of your checking account balance. Now you can avoid the embarrassment of returned checks and costly fees from merchants. Courtesy Pay helps to avoid returned checks by automatically paying overdrafts. Rather than returning your check, the credit union will cover the difference up to $500.00 (including fees and charges) and your account will be charged $25.00 for handling each overdraft paid by the discretionary Courtesy Pay.  You'll then have up to 15 days to repay the overdraft to retain the Courtesy Pay overdraft privilege. 
 
This privilege is available to qualified members for all checks, ACH items, internet bill payer items, Debit Card transactions, and ATM withdrawals.  In the event that you chose to opt out of the Courtesy Pay Program or if the privilege is revoked, all overdrafts will be automatically returned marked "NSF" and applicable fees per item will be charged to your account.
