±With your authorization, Share Transfer Overdraft Protection (S.T.O.P.) allows us to transfer money from a share account or multiple share accounts to cover any overdrafts in your checking account for a nominal fee. See the Fee Schedule for the fee amount. Due to federal regulations, no more than six transfers can be made per calendar month from each share account. Transfers will be made in $100 increments.

±±Member is eligible for courtesy pay (overdraft program) 30 days after the initial deposit to the checking account. A $30 overdraft fee will be assessed per item. Fee is waived for everyday debit and ATM transaction overdrafts until your account balance exceeds $25, if you opt in.  A fee may be imposed for covering overdrafts created by check, in-person withdrawal, and Automated Clearing House (ACH) debits including International Bill Pay transactions. You have 33 days to pay your negative balance before you will be considered no longer in good standing with Service Credit Union. 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 have too many overdrafts.  Overdraft transfers and fees are activated based on your available balance, which may be less than your current balance, depending on pending charges, holds and pledges on your account.
