Protection from Overdrafts
We offer two ways for customers to protect against inadvertent
overdrafts: Overdraft Protection and Bounce Protection®.
Overdraft Protection
Any of our checking accounts can be
linked to a Statement Savings, Money Market, or Line of Credit
account (must meet credit criteria) for convenient overdraft protection.
Money will be transferred from your linked account to cover any
overdrafts. There is a transfer charge* for this service from
a Statement Savings or Money Market account. Overdraft transfers
are FREE from a Line of Credit account.
Bounce Protection®
Qualified customers who have not registered for our Overdraft
Protection Plan are automatically protected from returned checks
through our new Bounce Protection plan.
You will have peace of mind knowing that, should you become overdrawn,
your transactions may be covered up to your assigned limit. If
you are currently registered for our Overdraft Protection transfer
plan, an overdraft transfer from your linked account will be initiated
before your Bounce Protection limit is accessed. For a more detailed
description of how this works, click here.

Visa® Gift Cards
The Visa gift card makes finding the perfect gift easy! It’s
an ideal choice for birthdays, holidays, weddings and all your gift-giving
occasions. Recipients can use it whenever, wherever! If you need
a gift card quickly, just stop by any of our 40+ offices to make
your purchase and receive the Visa gift card on the spot!
A Visa gift card looks like a credit card. The front of the card
displays the Visa logo, an individual account number and an expiration
date. The back includes a magnetic strip. Unlike a credit card,
however, the Visa gift card may only be used for the amount loaded
on the card.
The Visa gift card is welcomed worldwide at more than 19 million
merchants that accept Visa debit cards, and can be used to make
purchases online, by phone or in person. Purchasers or gift recipients
can use the card as many times as they like for six months, up to
the amount stored on the card. As the card is used, the amount of
each purchase is automatically deducted from the card's available
balance.
The Visa gift card is better than a gift certificate, cash or
check because it provides peace of mind. If the card is lost or
stolen with a balance remaining, a replacement card will be issued
and any available balance (less the replacement card fee) will be
transferred to the new card.
Visa gift cards can be purchased in dollar amounts from $10 to
$1000. In addition, there is a nominal processing fee of $2.95 per
card.
Give them what they want, instead of guessing what they want.
Drop by your local branch and buy your Visa gift cards today!
