What is an overdraft?
An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction. With Overdraft Protection LMCU places funds into your account to cover the overdraft so the bill is paid.

What are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account?
We may authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types 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 types of transactions unless you ask us to by opting in (see form below):
- ATM transactions
- Everyday debit card transactions

We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee 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 I be charged if you pay my overdraft?
We will charge you a $30.00 fee for each debit/ATM card overdraft.

What if I want you to authorize and pay overdrafts on my ATM and everyday debit card transactions?
We will not authorize and pay overdrafts on your ATM and everyday debit card transactions unless you ask us to.
