Learn more about NSF fees, overdrafts, and how to protect your accounts.
We know life happens, and unexpected expenses come up. We’re here to help you stay on top of your finances and avoid overdrafts and NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) fees. Explore the topics and resources below to understand more about these fees and how to steer clear of them.
An overdraft occurs when you spend more money than you have in your account. For example, if someone has $20 in their checking account and charges $30 with their debit card for gas, their account will be overdrawn by $10.
Without some form of overdraft protection, when an account becomes overdrawn, it creates a negative balance, or an NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) event. This means there aren’t enough funds in the account to cover the transaction.
When you assign an account to be your overdraft account, then link it to your checking account, in the event of an overdraft, the funds needed to complete the transaction are withdrawn from your overdraft account and the transaction processes.
