Courtesy Pay
Fewer Worries about Insufficient Funds!
Courtesy Pay is a service that adds a measure of protection to your personal checking account. Courtesy Pay may cover your insufficient funds checks (up to an approved limit) for one low fee per covered overdraft transaction.
That means instead of returning a check to a merchant for insufficient funds, the credit union may pay your check saving you additional fees from the merchant. It also saves you embarassment and can help protect your credit rating.
Overdrafts on your checking account, up to a limit of $500 (including the amount of the overdrawn item(s) and the Non-Sufficient Funds fee(s) may be honored. A $28 fee will be assessed for each item that draws your account negative.You then have up to 30 days to bring the account current.
In order to activate this service, you must sign a CONSENT FORM. Click here to open CONSENT FORM (pdf).
Once the CONSENT FORM is on file, the items covered may include: checks written to another party, ACH/Preauthorized drafts, electronic debits, ATM withdrawals, and bill payment transaction.
If you have questions, do not hesitate to call a Financial Services Representative at 419-698-2962.
*Checking accounts require an initial deposit of $50. Member purchases checks. Inactivity fee: $10 per month after 2 consecutive months of no member activity (deposits or check writing). Fees could reduce earnings on accounts that earn dividends.
