Checking Overdraft Protection³

We don’t think you should ever have to worry about insufficient funds³, that’s why we offer several options designed to protect you from NSF fees. Learn more about overdraft protection options.

Personal Line of Credit

A line of credit gives you quick, convenient access your money, providing added spending power when you need it most. This versatile offering can protect your checking account against financial miscalculations, provide a little extra money to cover your daily expenses until your next payday and, depending on the limit, can help with large purchases. Your checking account can be directly linked to your personal line of credit, allowing you to automatically cover checks or debit card transactions. In addition, your personal line of credit is accessible from online and mobile banking, allowing you to transfer money quickly.

Visit our overdraft protection page for a more thorough rundown of how this process works.

Linking Savings to Checking Accounts

Link your checking and savings accounts so you can transfer money from savings to cover checks and debit transactions.

Bounce-Free Checking Protection⁴

Bouncing a check can be a stressful and embarrassing situation, but with bounce-free checking protection from Florida Credit Union, you can avoid fees and the hassles that come from insufficient funds. If you overdraw your account, FCU will cover your checks⁴ and ensure your transaction goes through.
