What You Need to Know about Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:

  • We have standard overdraft practices that come with your account.
  • We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to another account, which may be less expensive than our standard practices. To learn more, ask us about these plans.

This notice explains our standard overdraft practices.

What are the standard overdraft practices that come with my account?

We do authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:

  • Checks, in-person withdrawals, ACH transactions, pre-authorized automatic transfers
  • Automatic bill payments, internet banking transfers
  • Recurring debit card transactions

We do not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to (see below):

  • ATM transactions
  • Everyday debit card transactions

We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.

If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.

What fees will I be charged if Pony Express Bank pays my overdraft?

Under our standard overdraft practices:

  • We will charge you a fee of $35.00 each time we pay an overdraft.
  • There is a limit of six (6) per item overdraft fees we will charge you for overdrawing your account on any business day.
  • The bank does not charge a checking account participating in the OD program an OD/NSF fee for transactions that overdraw an account by an aggregate amount of $5 or less.
