Overdraft Privilege
(A Discretionary Overdraft Service)

HAVE YOU EVER made an honest mistake in your checkbook,found yourself a "little short" or had unusual or unforeseen expenses at just the wrong time? RELAX...YOU DESERVE CONSIDERATION!

Rather than automatically returning, unpaid, any non-sufficient fund items that you may have, we will consider, without obligation on our part, payment of your reasonable overdrafts.

Overdraft Privilege Can Mean...
You can avoid high charges from merchants for returned checks, you have new convenience and flexibility in managing
your funds and payment of OVERDRAFTS UP TO $700 ($400 on Free checking accounts) will normally be
considered.

We will charge our normal non-sufficient funds or overdraft charges, as set forth in our fee schedule for each item that would create an overdraft on your account. Our normal overdraft and (NSF) fee is $25.00 per item. Of course, we can't promise to pay every overdraft, not all accounts are eligible, and some restrictions do apply.

PAYMENT ORDER OF ITEMS - The law permits us to pay items (such as checks or drafts) drawn on your account in any order. To assist you in handling your account with us, we are providing you with the following information regarding how we process the items that you write. When processing items drawn on your account, our policy is to pay them according to the dollar amount. We pay the smallest items first. The order in which items are paid is important if there is not enough money in your account to pay all of the items that are presented. Our payment policy minimizes the number of items that may result in an overdraft or NSF fee. If an item is presented without sufficient funds in your account to pay it, we may, at our discretion, pay the item (creating an overdraft) or return the item (NSF). The amounts of the overdraft and NSF fees are disclosed elsewhere. We encourage you to make careful records and practice good account management. This will help you to avoid writing checks or making other withdrawals without sufficient funds and incurring the resulting fees.
