Overdraft Transfer Service
How Does Overdraft Transfer Service Work?
Enrolling in Overdraft Transfer Service helps prevent NSF fees or an overdrawn account when your Checking account doesn’t have sufficient available funds to pay an item. Overdraft Transfer Service automatically moves available funds to your Checking account from up to two protecting accounts you designate. A protecting account can be your Zard Share, Money Market Share or Checking account, or an Open-End Signature loan, or Home Equity line of credit.2, 3Features
- Two Overdraft Fee Free Days1
- $0.50 fee for each overdraft transfer after Fee Free Days are used
- Up to two protecting accounts
- Funds transferred in whole dollar amounts
- Funds transferred in $50 increments from Share and deposit accounts,2 and Open-End Signature loans3
- Funds transferred in $500 increments from Home Equity lines of credit3
See our Account Rules and Regulations on the Account Disclosures page for more information.
The best way to prevent overdraft fees is to balance your checking account carefully so you always know how much you have available to spend.
