Isabella Bank understands, mistakes happen, deposits may be delayed, and unforeseen expenses leave less in your account than needed. We have options to help.
Isabella Bank has three options to help cover a potential overdraft.
- Overdraft Protection
- Checkmate Plus - A Checking Line of Credit
- Account to Account Transfer
Overdraft Protection1 - This is our standard overdraft service, we provide a limited reserve to cover items such as checks, ACH/automated payment items, and recurring debit transactions.
Overdraft Protection with Reg E Opt-In adds coverage for ATM and everyday debit card transactions to our standard coverage. To Opt-In for this extended coverage, Click Here.
Checkmate Plus: Checking Line of Credit2 is an unsecured line of credit attached to your checking account. This line of credit helps to manage unforeseen expenses and give you a peace of mind knowing you are covered against overdrafts that can occur. You can access your Checkmate Plus by writing a check, using your debit card, or by visiting your nearest office. The line of credit will auto-transfer to your account in increments of $100 to cover overdrafts. Click Here to Apply for our Checkmate Plus Line of Credit.
Account to Account Transfer3 is an established auto transfer between another Isabella Bank checking, savings, or money market account. The funds from the designated deposit account are automatically transferred into your checking account when your checking account is depleted to cover possible overdrafts. Please stop by your local Isabella Bank office or call 800.651.9111 for more information.
1 Your account is subject to our Standard Overdraft Practices. If your account lacks sufficient funds (based on your available balance) to pay a check, preauthorized transfer, or other debit activity presented for payment, we may either return the item (non-sufficient funds/NSF) or pay the item (creating an overdraft/OD) at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. Under our Standard Overdraft Practices we may authorize and pay overdrafts for checks and other transactions, including automatic bill payments, made using your checking account number. You should let us know if you do not want us to pay overdrafts on your account. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will not authorize and pay overdrafts for everyday debit card transactions or ATM transactions. Overdraft Protection with Reg E Opt-In extends coverage to include the payment of ATM and everyday Debit Card transactions if you provide your consent to have these type of transactions covered. If we pay an item (creating an overdraft/OD) you may be charged a fee of $32 per item (based on the accounts actual (ledger) balance). For consumer accounts only, we will not charge you an overdraft item fee if your account is overdrawn by $10 or less and the maximum overdraft fees we will charge you is $160 per day. If the account remains overdrawn for ten (10) consecutive days a $5 continuous overdraft charge will be assessed daily, starting on the eleventh (11th) day, until the account is no longer overdrawn. The order in which we process and pay items may not be in the same order in which they occur which can affect the total amount of overdraft fees charged. For more information about overdrafts, please see your Consumer Deposit Account Disclosure section titled Understanding Overdrafts and Non-Sufficient Funds. You can remove Overdraft Protection and/or Overdraft Protection with Reg E Opt-In extended coverage at any time by contacting us. We also offer other overdraft service options which may be less expensive than our Standard Overdraft Practices, such as an automatic transfer from another account you have with us, or line of credit (subject to credit approval).
