Overdraft Privilege Program

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction. With our Overdraft Privilege Program, we will pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:

  1. We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.
  2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account or a line of credit, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices.

Linebacker Overdraft Protection

Our Linebacker overdraft protection is a line of credit that helps stop charges that cause your checking account to overdraw. Our Linebacker will help cover your checks from insufficient funds and protect yourself from check writing errors. Loan advances are made in $100 increments and credit limits are available up to $5,000.
