OVERDRAFT COVERAGE OPTIONS

Our overdraft coverage options are completely opt-in. Eligible members may choose either an overdraft line of credit or overdraft transfer. With either option, overdraft funds will be accessed in the event of insufficient funds in the primary checking account.

Overdraft lines of credit range from $250 to $2,000. Applicants for overdraft lines of credit are subject to the underwriting guidelines of Self-Help Credit Union.

With overdraft transfer, the entire balance of the transfer source account is accessible for overdraft transfer payments, if needed. Self-Help Credit Union will charge a small fee for each overdraft transfer.
