WFCU Checking Account Overdraft Services

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough available funds (Available Balance) in your account to cover a transaction. The Available Balance is the total amount of funds in your account less holds placed on deposits and less holds on debit card authorizations not yet presented for payment. Wheatland FCU offers two services to help manage overdraft situations. Both are completely optional. If you do not wish to utilize either, items presented for payment, such as checks and automated payments, will be returned unpaid and be subject to a Non-Sufficient (NSF) fee of $40.00 or if a one-time debit card purchase, the purchase may be declined.

If you choose one or both of our Overdraft management options, if will determine how overdrafts will be handled (whether the transaction is paid or not) and the resulting fee that will be charged to your account. Whether your overdrafts will be paid is discretionary, and we reserve the right to not pay any item. 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 have too many overdrafts.

Overdraft Protection Privilege Service

Our Account Overdraft Protection Privilege Service will automatically transfer funds from your WFCU savings account, Personal Line of Credit or Flexline loan to cover payment of a check, electronic (ACH) payment, and debit card purchase that otherwise cannot be paid due to insufficient available funds in your Checking account. If approved, you can designate which account to transfer from to cover such occurrences. If an overdraft occurs, only the amount needed to cover the item plus the transfer fee will e withdrawn from the transfer account. Transfer fees range from $0.00 – $7.00 based on your account tier, and is assessed for each item covered.

Courtesy Pay Overdraft Program

Our Courtesy Pay is an optional protection that allows the Credit Union to approve (at our discretion) items for which your available balance in your checking account or in accounts linked for Overdraft Protection Privilege are insufficient at the time of the transaction. Courtesy Pay covers overdrafts created by check, electronic payments (such as ACH payments), recurring and one-time (point-of-sale) debit card transactions. An overdraft fee of $40.00 will be assessed for each item that Courtesy Pay covers, and your available balance cannot cover payment. With Courtesy Pay, our Checking Account will be taken negative by the amount your account does not have sufficient funds to cover the item plus a fee of $40.00. This fee the Credit Union may continue to authorize or pay these transactions into overdraft, at our discretion, up to your tier limit, of either $500.00, $250.00 or $100.00. Any items that come in for payment after you reach this limit will be returned unpaid, and an NSF fee of $40.00 will be assessed to your account. If you have an overdraft on your account (including transactions we have paid on your behalf into overdraft, plus any fees), you must promptly make a deposit or transfer to return your account to a positive balance within 15 days.
