Tips To Help You Avoid Overdrafts

  • Watch your balance. Accurately track the money you deposit into and withdraw from your account. You can do this using a paper register or electronically through Online Banking. Remember to track your ATM withdrawals and transfers, debit card purchases, bills that get deducted electronically from your account, and the checks that you write. You may want to consider keeping a “cushion” of funds in your account to help prevent unintended overdrafts.
  • Apply for an overdraft protection option that could automatically help protect your account from being overdrawn.
  • Enroll in Online Banking and use it to quickly access and monitor your balance and account activity.
  • Keep in mind that any balance we provide may not be the amount that is actually available in your account to spend – there may be transactions that have not yet reached the bank such as checks, automatic payments, merchant holds (for point-of-sale transactions) and deposits in process. (Please note that some payment authorization systems allow merchants to ask for an authorization for an amount that is more or less than the actual transaction (for example, a gas station submits an authorization for $75 even though the actual gas purchase is $42), so with point-of-sale transactions, we may hold funds in your account per the merchant’s direction.)
  • Sign Up for eAlerts through Online Banking to warn you when your account balance falls below a dollar amount you choose.
  • Verify automatic deposits you’re expecting have been credited to your account.
  • Review and reconcile your checking account statement every month.
