If your account is eligible, an Overdraft Program limit will be assigned to your account. Refer to the Overdraft Program Disclosure for additional information, including terms and conditions.

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 Overdraft Program. Some common transactions where this occurs involve 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.
