Overdraft Protection Transfer Fee: A fee of $6.00 is assessed for each automated transfer from a savings account or parent account to cover an overdraft. An overdraft occurs if the available balance in the account is not sufficient to cover drafts, fees or other items posted to account, whether the transaction was made by check, electronically, or otherwise. The available balance takes into account any pending debits received but not posted to the account, i.e., preauthorized debit card transactions, pending checks, transfers, withdrawals, or holds on your account. If PrimeWay pays a draft or imposes a fee that would otherwise overdraw account, account holder agrees to pay the overdrawn amount immediately. Account will not have any overdraft protection if the designated savings or parent account has insufficient funds to cover the transaction. A NSF fee of $30.00 is charged per item returned unpaid Refer to the Account & Fee Disclosure for details.
