Flexible Overdraft Protection
|
Guard your account from accidental overdrafts. With Plus Checking, your account comes with options to give you peace of mind, with layers of overdraft protection, and without overdraft or NSF fees. Overdraft Protection, when linked to an eligible deposit account, can cover an accidental overdraft without paying a transfer fee, up to your available balance or limit. With the $500 Overdraft Line of Credit, if your checking account balance goes below $0, your line of credit automatically transfers the funds to cover the transaction, up to your available limit.² |

If your checking account doesn’t have enough funds to cover a transaction, funds will be automatically pulled from the Plus Checking line of credit to cover the transaction, up to your available limit. For example, if you make a purchase for $25 but your current Plus Checking account balance is only $15, the $10 difference would automatically be paid from your line of credit (when chosen as your primary overdraft option).

Ask us for details regarding your options.
If your Plus Checking account balance is $0, and you don’t have enough funds in any linked overdraft protection option to cover a transaction, the transaction may be declined. Plus Checking declined transactions will not be charged an overdraft or NSF fee by Orange County’s Credit Union.
