Overdraft Protection
Overdraft Protection via Membership Share Savings
A service extended to our members who inadvertently overdraw their checking account but have sufficient funds to cover the overage in their Membership Share Savings Account. With this service, each time your PFCU Premier Checking Account is overdrawn, funds from your Membership Share Savings Account will be transferred, if available, to cover the overage. Utilization of this service results in a $3.00 service fee for each individual check that must be covered.
If funds are not available to transfer from your Membership Share Savings Account and you have not signed up nor qualify for Overdraft Protection via Line of Credit, each check will be returned and NSF fees will be charged.
Overdraft Protection via Line of Credit
PFCU's open-end Overdraft Protection is a line of credit intended to serve as overdraft protection for qualified members with PFCU Premier Checking. Similar to loan privileges, a member must apply for a line of credit and demonstrate creditworthiness. Members are not required to have Direct Deposit to utilize this plan. There are no fees associated with these advances, although finance charges begin as of the date of the advance.
Provisions of Overdraft Protection via Line of Credit
- To qualify for Overdraft Protection, all outstanding PFCU loans must be current
- If there is a loan delinquency or an advance would exceed the credit limit, no funds will be advanced, and the draft will be treated as an NSF and will incur an NSF charge.
- Credit limits are based on your credit score with a maximum credit limit of $1,000.
- Interest rates vary depending upon your credit score
- A monthly installment of $30 or the balance (whichever is lower) is required for any month there is an outstanding balance
