We offer automatic overdraft privilege at account opening for your personal checking account. Overdraft privilege provides comfort in knowing your check will be paid in the event your account goes below zero.
- Insufficient Funds charge of $28.00 for each item paid through Overdraft Privilege. A $5.00 per calendar day overdraft service charge will also be assessed when the account remains overdrawn in excess of seven (7) calendar days, and will continue until the account is no longer overdrawn or is closed.
- Fees are imposed for covering overdrafts created by checks, pre-authorized debits, online banking transactions, ACH debits and in-house transfers to loan and deposit accounts that causes the current balance to fall below $0.00 on your account.
- Accounts in overdraft status must be paid within 14 days
- Overdrafts will not be paid if your account is not in good standing, you are not making regular deposits, or you have too many overdrafts. First Federal reserves the right not to pay any transactions that overdraw your account.
To sign up, just print and complete our Overdraft Privilege Agreement.
