NOTE: You can't write personal checks on this account. Any check you write will be returned unpaid, even if you have enough
money in your account.
No bank overdraft fees
We don't charge overdraft fees on this account. To help you avoid overdrawing your account, transactions will be
declined and returned unpaid when you don't have enough money in your account.
If this happens, you won't be charged a bank overdraft fee, but the merchant or third party could charge you a fee. For example, you
may be charged a late fee if the payment isn't received on time.
An owner can set up email or mobile alerts to notify you when you have a low balance in your account or when items aren't paid. (We
don't charge for this service but your mobile carrier's message and data fees may apply. Delivery of alerts may be affected or
delayed by your mobile carrier’s coverage.)
While this account prevents you from overdrawing in most cases, there may still be times when your account could have
a negative balance, but we won't charge an overdraft fee. This could happen in the following ways:
When your debit card is authorized for one amount but the final amount is higher (for example, adding a tip at a restaurant or
pumping gas)
A scheduled bill payment is deducted when you have insufficient funds in your account for the payment
When you get charged a fee, such as a monthly maintenance fee, and the current balance is less than the fee
When your deposits are available
Cash, direct deposits and wire transfers: On the day we receive them.
4
Checks you deposit: Usually the next business day, if deposited before the financial center or ATM cutoff time.
Mobile Check Deposits: Usually the next business day if deposited by applicable cutoff times. Please refer to Deposit Checks, then
Help in the Mobile Banking app for additional details and terms and conditions.
If we place a hold on your deposit, we'll let you know the hold reason and when funds will be available for you to use. This is
typically provided at the time of deposit but may also be mailed later. Deposits greater than $5,525 and checks deposited within the
first 30 days of account opening may be held longer.

How we post transactions
The way we post transactions impacts your account balance. At the end of each business day, we'll group transactions received that
day into categories before posting them. Below are the most common categories, and common transaction types in each, in the order
that they generally post to your account. Keep in mind that transactions that are still processing may lower your available balance.
• Deposits: Added from highest to lowest dollar amount.
• Many debit transactions: Subtracted based on the date and time you made them. If our system doesn’t receive date and time of
the transaction, they are posted and subtracted from highest to lowest dollar amount. These include one-time and recurring debit
card transactions, one-time transfers and ATM withdrawals.
• Most other electronic payments and preauthorized transfers: Subtracted from highest to lowest dollar amount. These include
scheduled transfers, online bill payments and preauthorized payments that use your account number.
• Most fees: Subtracted from highest to lowest dollar amounts.
Reminder: Paper checks will not work with this account.
