More information

You can link up to three eligible¹ accounts and you can choose which one transfers funds first, second, and third. If you don’t choose the order, then funds are taken using the order in which the accounts were added.

You can choose to have overdraft coverage and overdraft protection for the same account. Overdraft protection will be tried first. If there’s not enough funds available in the overdraft protection account, then standard overdraft coverage applies.
