What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we
pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:
1. We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.
2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account, which may be less
    expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, ask us about these plans.

This notice explains our standard overdraft practices.
  • What are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account?
  •    We do authorize and pay overdrafts for the following transactions:
    • Checks and other transactions made using your checking
      account number
    • Automatic bill payments
      We do not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to
      (see below):
    • ATM transactions
    • Everyday debit card transactions
    We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize
            and pay any type of transaction.

What fees will I be charged if Heart of Louisiana Credit Union pays my overdraft?
Under our standard overdraft practices:
We will charge you a fee of $25 each time we pay an overdraft.
