Member Overdraft Privilege

What is Member Overdraft Privilege?

Member Overdraft Privilege is a convenient service that can give you peace of mind and potential cost savings.  If your checking account is ever short of funds, it can help save you from the embarrassment and expense of merchant fees or non-sufficient funds charges that may have otherwise been charged.*

How Does it Work?

If funds are not available in your checking account or designated overdraft source(s) at the time an item is presented to us for payment, Pinellas FCU may cover the item by bringing your checking account balance negative, up to a limit of $500.  This amount will include our standard Member Overdraft Privilege fee charged per returned item.*
