OVERDRAFT OPTIONS
Overdraft protection transfers money from one of your other accounts at the credit union when you don’t have enough money in your checking. You only pay a $5 fee each time we make a transfer.
VISA OVERDRAFT PROTECTION
Use your PSCU VISA as protection for any overdrafts you may have. We’ll automatically transfer the money to your checking and you only pay interest on the balance until you pay it back. Give us a call to set up your VISA as a form of overdraft protection.
MY OVERDRAFT PRIVILEGE (MY ODP)
If you have direct deposit into your checking account you may be eligible for My ODP. With My ODP the credit union pays for transactions that take your account below your available balance up to your qualified limit. You are charged a $30 fee each time you use My ODP but your check or automatic withdrawal isn’t returned so you’ll save the embarrassment and extra fees associated with a return. Call the credit union to find out if your account is eligible.
*Overdraft Protection transfer fees apply for each transfer. See Fee Schedule for list of fees. My ODP fee is charged for each transaction that puts your account below the available balance. All transactions that may take your account below the available balance are subject to a fee. Negative account balances must be paid within a 30 day period. The credit union reserves the right to not pay an overdraft for any reason. Contact the credit union for an up to date fee schedule.
MANAGE MY CARDS
You can easily manage your card activity and security all from your mobile app. Lock and unlock your cards, too! Did you lose your card? Temporarily lock it to prevent it from being used by anyone else. If you find it, you can unlock it just as easily!
