Personal Line of Credit

A personal line of credit is tied to your checking or money market account and may provide nonsufficient funds (NSF) and overdraft protection. * You have access to funds when you need them with no annual fees or transfer fees.

Features and Benefits

• NSF/Overdraft protection
• No annual fee
• No transfer fee

NSF and Overdraft Protection

Your line of credit will be linked to your checking account. If on any day the Available Balance in your checking account is not sufficient to cover checks and other items posted to your account (including returned items, electronic funds transfers (EFTs), Online or Mobile Banking transfers, ACH transfers, ATM withdrawals, and point of sale (POS) or other ATM or debit card transactions), we may make an advance under your linked line of credit to pay such items. For more information, refer to the Account Agreements (PDF).

How to Access Line of Credit Funds

• Access funds from Online Banking or the mobile app, or by phone.
• Automatic Line of Credit transfers for NSF and Overdraft Protection will be made in $100 increments (or the unused portion of the available credit limit if less than $100). Interest charges accrue from the date any credit advance or transfer is posted to your account.
