Courtesy Pay

Courtesy Pay is available to eligible accounts and covers overdrafts up to a fixed amount. If you already have Overdraft Protection, Courtesy Pay can act as your second level of coverage. It will only be used when the primary overdraft source is exhausted.

Standard Coverage comes automatically with eligible accounts, but you can select Extended Coverage to cover your ATM and debit card transactions. When used, Courtesy Pay will cost $37.50 per paid transaction, but it costs nothing to have Courtesy Pay on your account.
