What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees
An overdraft occurs when the ledger balance of your account is not sufficient to cover a transaction, but we pay or cover the transaction anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:
- We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.
- We also offer overdraft programs, such as a link to a secondary UCB account or to an overdraft line of credit, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practice. To learn more, ask us about these programs.
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 type of transactions:
- Checks and other transactions made using your checking account number
- Automatic bill payments
We will not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following type of transactions unless you ask us to (see below):
- Everyday debit card transactions
- ATM transactions
We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction
If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.
What fees will be charged if UCB pays my overdraft?
Under our standard overdraft practices:
- We will charge you a fee of $29.95 each time we pay an overdraft.
- Also, if your account is overdrawn for more than four business days, we will charge an additional $4.95 per day, starting on the 5th business day.
- There is a limit of four overdraft/paid item fees and one continued overdraft fee per day we will charge you for overdrawing your account.
