Overdraft Protection Section contents:


Overdraft protection gives you the added peace of mind and confidence knowing your checks will be paid in the event there are insufficient funds in your Share Draft account to cover a check. Overdraft protection will automatically transfer funds from the member's MoneyMaster Line of Credit, savings account, or money market account with no transfer fee. The transfer is documented on the member's monthly statement, and the member can use Call 24 or the_Max! anytime to check account balances.
