Understanding Overdraft Options

With your LOC account, you have options on how you want your items (checks, bill payments, pre-authorized transactions, and debit card transactions) to be paid or declined in the event of an overdraft situation.

Overdraft Protection

Low cost options to transfer funds to pay items presented against your checking account in the event of insufficient funds. You can opt for one or both options depending on your situation.

If you opt to have transfer capabilities from both a savings, another LOC deposit account and line of credit, you can tell us the order of accounts you’d like to use to transfer from first. (For example: line of credit, then savings or vice versa)

From a Regular Savings From a Line of Credit

How it works

We can link your Regular Savings account to your checking account and transfer funds to cover items like checks, bill payments, pre-authorized payments and debit card transactions in the event you do not have sufficient funds in your checking account.

If you have another Regular Savings or Checking account with LOC, we can link that account as well.

We will only transfer the necessary amount to cover the items presented for payment plus the fee.

We can link a line of credit to your checking account and transfer funds to cover items like checks, bill payments, pre-authorized payments and debit card transactions in the event you do not have sufficient funds in your checking account.

Transfers are done in $50 increments, regardless of the amount needed to cover an item.

Fee

$3 per transfer No annual fee or transfer fee; balances are subject to a daily variable Annual Percentage Rate (APR).

Is this right for you?

Good if you:

  • Have funds regularly available in your savings account
  • Only overdraft a couple of times a year

Good if you:

  • Are creditworthy and qualify
  • Don’t have a savings balance or keep minimal amount in your savings
  • Frequently overdraft but are able to pay off your balance each month
  • Like the option of having a line of credit available to you at your disposal

How to add

We automatically link your savings account to your checking account. We've got you covered!

How it works with Overdraft Protection

If your checking is linked to a savings account and/or line of credit, we will first attempt to transfer funds from those options to cover your items before using your available Overdraft Privilege.
