Add a Buffer to Your Finances

We all make mistakes. It’s part of being human. That’s why we offer the Overdraft Privilege Program with Courtesy Pay.*

When you opt-in, your savings and checking accounts will be linked. If your checking account runs out of funds, available funds from your savings account will automatically be withdrawn to cover your transaction. If funds are not available in your savings, you have authorized Local 804 FCU to overdraw your account.

That means, instead of paying fines on a missed bill or facing the embarrassment of being turned away at the check stand with a mountain of groceries all bagged and ready to go, you’ll be able to buy and pay for what you need.

However, 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, the item will be returned or the transaction will be declined.**
