Overdraft Protection

It is important for you to use your checking account responsibly and to never intentionally overdraw your account. However, we realize that financial shortfalls happen from time to time and we have options available for you.

Why would my account be overdrawn?

An insufficient balance can result from several events such as:

• The payment of checks, electronic funds transfers or other withdrawal requests
• Payments authorized by you
• The return of unpaid items deposited by you
• Bank service charges
• The deposit of items which, according to the bank’s Funds Availability Policy, are treated as not yet available or finally paid.

Overdraft Policy

Whether your overdrafts will be paid is discretionary and Mutual Savings Bank reserves the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, or you are not making regular deposits, or you have too many overdrafts. The non-sufficient fee applies to overdrafts created by check, in-person withdrawal, ATM withdrawal, or other electronic means as applicable.

Overdraft Services Available

No matter how well you manage your finances, mistakes can happen. To help spare you potential embarrassment and expenses of returned items, Mutual Savings Bank offers three options to cover overdrafts.
