*** Overdraft Privilege (ODP) is a discretionary service which a member may opt-out of any time by notifying a Member Service Representative. For each overdraft we pay, we will charge the standard per item overdraft fee set forth in our fee schedule (currently $30.00). There is no limit to the number of per item Overdraft/NSF Fees that can be charged on on an individual item or to the frequency with which per item Overdraft/NSF fees can be charged. ODP applies to a variety of transactions, including checks and other transactions made using your checking account number, automatic bill payments, ATM transactions and everyday debit card transactions; however, on consumer accounts we will not include ATM and everyday debit card transactions within our ODP Program without first receiving your affirmative consent to do so. Furthermore on consumer accounts absent your affirmative consent, ATM and everyday debit card transactions generally will not be paid under ODP. The amounts of any overdrafts, including our fees, are due and payable immediately or on demand. We can refuse to pay any overdraft for any reason.
