Courtesy Pay

Get Covered with Courtesy Pay

We encourage our members to manage their finances responsibly, but understand that under certain circumstances, you may need a temporary safety net to cover the shortfall in your account. That's why we offer Courtesy Pay on our Unified Checking Account.

What is Courtesy Pay?

Courtesy Pay is a service available to eligible checking account members that pays for items that exceed the balance in your checking account. It's an additional line of defense that kicks in once Overdraft Protection has been exhausted. Courtesy Pay will cover the cost of the transaction(s) up to an amount determined by the credit union and a $35 fee may be charged for each presentment.  Click here to view disclosure.

There are less expensive overdraft options available, including transfers from another deposit account, line of credit or credit card. You can also use Online and Mobile Banking to monitor your balances and create account alerts so you can avoid overdrawing your account.
