Overdraft Privilege - Having a check returned due to insufficient funds can be a costly experience. With Overdraft Privilege, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing you have an extra level of protection against account reconciliation errors and unanticipated cash flow emergencies. Overdraft Privilege allows you to write checks for an amount over and above the amount in your checking account. Funds are transferred from a line of credit or other designated account to your checking account to cover payment.******
Overdrafts can be created by: paper checks, personal withdrawals, ATM withdrawals, Debit Card, ACH or other electronic means and will result in a fee of $32 per item paid or returned.
Planters Bank does not encourage overdrawing your checking account. Overdraft Privilege is a non-contractual courtesy available to personal checking accounts in good standing and is subject to approval.
****** Overdraft Privilege is subject to approval. When we pay overdraft items customers will be charged our normal NSF-item paid fee for each item presented. You must bring your account to a positive balance within a 30-day period. Whether overdrafts will be paid is discretionary and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if the account is not in good standing, if the customer is not making regular deposits, or if the customer has too many overdrafts.
