For each transaction listed above that we pay, you will be charged a $32 Overdraft Fee if the transaction overdraws your account, up to $320 per day (which equals 10 Overdraft Fees or NSF Return Item Fees). We do not charge the $32 fee if, after all transactions presented to your account on any given day, are paid or returned and your account balance is overdrawn by $10 or less. We also do not charge a $32 fee for individual transactions paid or returned for $10 or less. Subject to the “Force Pay Transactions” described below. You can decline or opt out of this service at any time.
Force Pay Transactions:
There may be instances where we will pay a transaction even if you do not have sufficient funds in your account to cover the transaction and are not enrolled in our Business Overdraft Program. Some common transactions where this occurs include purchases of gasoline, hotel rooms or meals at restaurants. When this happens, our processing system cannot determine that the amount of the hold exceeds the actual amount of your purchase. This temporary hold, and the amount charged to your account, will eventually be adjusted to the actual amount of your purchase, but it could be three calendar days (or even longer in some cases) before the adjustment is made. Under these circumstances, we will still pay (or “force pay”) the transaction and you will not be charged a fee.Resources:
