Checking Account Protection
Sometimes life happens and there may not be enough money in your account to cover transactions. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Both overdraft protection and courtesy pay are designed to prevent checking account transactions from being declined due to non-sufficient funds (NSF).

Overdraft protection allows funds to be transferred from a designated credit union account to pay otherwise rejected items. This is a free service.

Courtesy pay allows your account to go negative in order to pay otherwise rejected items. There is a fee for this service, but we do not return the item to the merchant or biller or reject your point-of-sale purchase with the merchant. This service automatically covers checks, bill payments and electronic payments. If you would like to cover ATM and debit card transactions you must opt-in. Simply login to online or mobile banking and select Overdraft Protection from the dropdown menu, then select Courtesy Pay to enroll. 

Open an account online, give us a call, or visit one of our six CA branch locations in Concord, Clovis, Fresno, Livermore, Pleasant Hill, and San Ramon to learn more.


Final checking account establishment and Visa debit card are subject to approval through ChexSystems. Minimum age to open a checking account is 13. Free overdraft protection transfers available from established savings, money market or Visa accounts. Courtesy pay fee is $25 per item when you overdraw your account by check, ACH, ATM or debit card transactions. Repayment is required within 30 days. Whether your overdrafts will be paid is discretionary and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, or you are not making regular deposits, or you are delinquent or in default in any other respect on any loan or obligation. Courtesy pay protection for debit and ATM transactions requires member consent. Some restrictions apply.
