Overdrafts – What they are and options to help protect yourself.

What Is an Overdraft?

An overdraft happens when you don’t have enough money in your account to pay for a transaction you’ve already made–essentially, you go over your account balance or bounce a check. Not only can this result in transactions being declined and/or returned, but your account can be charged insufficient funds and daily overdraft fees for check, in–person withdrawal, ATM withdrawal and other electronic transactions. See Personal Account Terms for all fees, conditions and terms.

Vectra Bank offers overdraft protection options to help you prevent overdrafts and avoid insufficient funds fees (NSF)¹ and overdraft service fees.²

• Account Overdraft Protection Service³ – Link a coverage account (savings, money market, or secondary checking account) to your primary checking account and available funds are automatically transferred to prevent overdrafts if the balance on your primary checking account is too low¹.
• Check Reserve Credit Line⁴ – Apply for an overdraft line of credit, and the line of credit automatically transfers available funds to cover overdrafts on your primary checking account.

Debit Card Overdraft Service⁵ (formerly Courtesy Approval)
Debit Card Overdraft Service is a service that allows Vectra Bank to consider paying ATM and one–time debit card transactions that may cause an overdraft due to lack of funds in your account. This service is separate from Vectra Bank Account Overdraft Protection Service and Check Reserve Credit Line. If you opt–in to Debit Card Overdraft Service, these transactions may be paid at Vectra’s discretion, which means Vectra Bank does not guarantee to always authorize and pay these transactions and fees may apply.

If you opt in to Debit Card Overdraft Service:

• Vectra Bank may pay, at its discretion, ATM and one–time debit card transactions that cause an overdraft on your account.
• If Vectra Bank pays the overdraft; you’ll be charged fees including an insufficient funds fee (NSF)¹ and overdraft service fees². Fees are taken from your account.

If you don’t opt in to Debit Card Overdraft Service:

• Vectra Bank will decline to authorize any ATM or one–time debit card transactions that cause an overdraft on your account, and you won’t be charged fees.

You have the right to revoke Debit Card Overdraft Service authorization at any time by stopping into any Vectra Bank branch or calling us at 1–800–232–8948.

The payment of transactions into overdraft is discretionary, and Vectra Bank reserves the right not to pay. For example, Vectra Bank typically does not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing or you’ve had excessive overdrafts. If your account goes into the overdraft, Vectra Bank requests you immediately bring your account to a positive balance.

You Have Flexibility

Whatever your decision, Vectra Bank provides you with options and flexibility. You can choose to have one of these plans, or a combination for added protection. And you are able to cancel at any time.
