What is overdraft protection?

With Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union, you have several different forms of overdraft protection available to choose from. These are solutions to help you if you overdraw your bank account. Here’s a breakdown of how these different protection options work for you.

We have three options to help you with overdraft protection on your checking account(s):

  • Savings Account: will transfer the funds out of your savings to cover overdrafts with a small fee of $7.50 applied for that service. 
  • Overdraft Line of Credit: will cover your overdrafts up to an approved limit. There is no overdraft fee with this option, but the overdrawn funds need to be paid back along with interest.
  • Extended Overdraft (EOD): if you make a purchase that extends beyond the money in your account, we’ll ensure your payments are covered up to $500 until you replenish the funds, but there is a fee associated with this service.
