The Overdraft fee forgiven period starts when the Overdraft paid fee is charged; it ends at 11 p.m. ET on the same day.

During that time, you'll have the opportunity to have the Overdraft paid fee waived. Just deposit enough funds by 11 p.m. ET to bring the available balance to $0 or more, not including the fee amount.

The following types of deposits are usually eligible for Overdraft fee forgiven:

  • ACH and electronic deposits.
  • Check or cash deposits at a branch.
  • Internal transfers.
  • External wire transfers.
  • ATM deposits at a U.S. Bank ATM, made before the cutoff time of 8 p.m. local time. Local time refers to the location of where the payment account was opened.
