Overdraft Options

Emergencies happen, set up a safety net for your finances.

Dealing with overdrafts can be costly, but FCCU has other less expensive overdraft option plans that may serve you better in addition to or in lieu of the Overdraft Privilege Program. Give us a call at 281.856.5300 or stop by to talk about these alternatives which may include automatic account transfers from a line of credit, credit card or a savings account.

Overdraft Transfers

Opt-in to Overdraft Transfers to increase your peace of mind when you don't have enough funds in your account. We'll automatically use your back up funds such as your FCCU Credit Card, line of credit or share (savings) account to cover your transaction for a small fee of $5.

 

Overdraft Privilege (ODP)

Overdraft Privilege allows you to overdraw your checking account up to a pre-determined limit to pay a transaction. A fee is charged each time we pay an overdraft. Please see the fee schedule below. For overdraft transactions under $5, we will not charge to cover these transactions. A fee will appear in your account but will be refunded the next business day. FCCU will strive to pay your reasonable overdrafts as a discretionary courtesy and not a right or obligation up to the pre-determined ODP limit on your account, including the ODP fee for each transaction as long as your account remains in good standing.
