*Courtesy Pay is a service that allows us to pay an item presented against your checking account even if it causes the account to become overdrawn.

Courtesy Pay may provide certain accountholders in “good standing” with the ability to overdraw their checking account up to $540. The Courtesy Pay limit includes overdraft fees assessed.

If the account has been open at least 60 days and maintained in good standing, defined as A) Making regular deposits sufficient to cover transactions; B) Bringing the account to a positive balance at least once every 30 days or less, and; C) There are no legal orders outstanding on your account, we may, at our sole discretion, pay overdrafts up to the limit mentioned above, including our normal Non-Sufficient Funds or Courtesy Pay charge(s). Your account may be subject to a charge for each item regardless of whether we pay or return the item. Our current charge per item is $25 which may be changed with prior notice. If you have or obtain an Overdraft Protection Line of Credit, you are not eligible for the Courtesy Pay program.

Courtesy Pay offers additional flexibility and convenience in managing accountholder funds and provides peace of mind knowing that items may be paid up to the authorized overdraft limit. Using Courtesy Pay may be more costly than other overdraft payment options we may offer. Please speak to a representative to see if you qualify.

This non-contractual courtesy of paying overdrafts requires no accountholder action. It costs nothing unless the privilege is used by initiating checks, electronic funds transfers, ATM/debit transactions or other payment or withdrawal requests for more than is on deposit in the account. However, ATM/debit transactions require the Reg E Opt-in disclosure be signed allowing FCU to authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM/debit transactions.  If you maintain the account in good standing and have need for “courtesy”, we may, at our sole discretion, pay the item(s) up to the authorized limit, and we will charge the account our normal Non-Sufficient Funds or Courtesy Pay charge for each item that overdraws the account. You then have up to 30 days to bring the account current. We will send you a notice each time an overdraft occurs.

Although you are not charged for having the Courtesy Pay program unless you have an overdraft, you may opt-out of Courtesy Pay at any time. If you do not want us to pay your overdrafts, you must tell us (“opt-out”). If you receive a direct deposit, social security or other federal benefit check, you must opt-out if you do not want us to apply those funds to repay an overdraft.

Courtesy Pay allows Filer Credit Union to provide a higher level of service to our accountholders by helping to protect your account and reputation when an inadvertent overdraft occurs.
