How do I opt for overdraft coverage and manage it?

Overdraft coverage refers to how we manage ATM and everyday debit card transactions when a deposit account has a negative balance. When the overdraft item is approved, an Overdraft paid fee may be charged. 

When you opt into overdraft coverage or make changes, it isn’t immediate. It takes one to three business days for the updates to happen. Follow the steps below to make changes to your overdraft coverage.
