Overdraft Transfer Service
How Does Overdraft Transfer Service Work?
Enrolling in our optional Overdraft Transfer Service helps prevent your Checking account from incurring non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees or becoming overdrawn. Overdraft Transfer Service automatically moves available funds to your Checking account from up to two protecting accounts. A protecting account can be an SECU Share, Money Market Share, another Checking account, Open-End Signature loan, or Home Equity Line of Credit.1,2Once your Checking account is enrolled in Overdraft Transfer Service, you can also enroll in SECU’s Another Chance Alerts program.
Features
- Up to two protecting accounts
- Funds transferred in whole dollar amounts
- Funds transferred in $50 increments from Share and deposit accounts,1 and Open-End Signature loans2
- Funds transferred in $500 increments from Home Equity Lines of Credit2
See our Account Rules and Regulations, which you can access from the Account Disclosures page, for more information.
As a best practice, balance your checking account carefully so you always know how much you have available to spend.
