How Overdraft Credit works:


Number 1

Once approved, use your checking account normally. The line of credit will cover any overspending.

Number 2

Next, we watch your checking account to make sure you have a positive balance.

Number 3

If you do overdraft, we transfer the amount from the line of credit to your checking.

Number 4

Interest accrues on the advanced allowance until you pay it off.

Number 5

Finally, we calculate your payment based off of your unpaid balance at the end of the month. Monthly minimum payment is equal to 3% of your balance or $15, whichever is greater.
