Overdraft Protection
We also offer Overdraft Protection plans which may be less expensive than Overdraft Privilege. You can link a backup account or line of credit to help pay overdraft transactions that may occur. If your checking account doesn't have enough money, Overdraft Protection will use your backup account to cover the transactions. Call or visit us to learn more about Overdraft Protection plans.
If you want us to authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions, please complete our overdraft enrollment form.
FAQs about Overdrafts and Insufficient Funds fees.
Overdraft Privilege may be available on eligible accounts to approve overdrafts for checks, automatic bill payments, recurring debit card payments and other transactions made using your checking account number.
For consumer accounts, at your request, we may authorize and pay ATM and everyday debit card transactions using your overdraft limit.
If an overdraft is approved, you may be assessed our Paid Item fee of $38 for each item.
All overdrawn balances must be brought positive within 30 calendar days.
First Community Bank reserves the right to not pay overdrafts. Overdraft Privilege is a non-contractual, discretionary service and we are not obligated to pay any item presented for payment if your account does not contain sufficient funds.
