To receive overdraft protection for everyday debit card transactions, we need to hear from you.
Overdraft services can be crucial when it counts most — those times when emergencies or unexpected expenses come up right when your balance is lowest.
To receive overdraft protection for everyday debit card transactions, you will need to give Golden 1 Credit Union permission to authorize your overdraft transaction and charge a fee for the service. This service does not guarantee we will permit you to overdraw your account without limits. However, without your permission, we will decline any transaction that exceeds your balance. * Note: We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means that we do not gurantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.
How does our overdraft protection for everyday debit card transactions work?
In the event you make an everyday debit card purchase that overdraws your account, overdraft protection allow us to authorize the transaction to occur, creating a negative balance in your account. Your purchase is then honored at the cash register.
Your negative account balance reflects the amount of the overdraft plus our fees for the service. The next time you make a deposit, your deposited funds are first applied toward the negative balance created by the transaction and fees. Keep in mind that daily fees may apply until you deposit adequate funds to bring your balance above zero.
This service does not guarantee we will permit you to overdraw your account without limits. However, without your permission, we will decline any everyday debit card transaction that exceeds your balance.
If you want to continue receiving overdraft protection on everyday debit card transactions and allow us to charge a fee, we need your permission today. Otherwise, even in an emergency, your transactions may be declined.
