You may be charged a fee each time a transaction is presented for payment, even if the same transaction is presented for payment multiple times. 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. Additional restrictions may apply.
