Overdraft Coverage Options

At any time unforeseen events can leave you in a situation where you need unexpected funding. Whether you forgot to transfer money into your checking account, to make a deposit, or a billing error causing your account to be overcharged - we've got you covered.

Overdraft Protection

Overdraft Protection services apply to all transactions and may help prevent overdrafts by automatically transferring funds to your eligible checking account from another account or line of credit you may have at Air Academy Credit Union. Please note, overdraft lines of credit are subject to credit approval and transfers from an overdraft line of credit will incur a finance charge.

  • Covered Transactions include checks, debit card purchases, ATM withdrawals, electronic funds transfers, and ACH debits.
  • Use your money first with no fee.
  • Designated overdraft accounts include savings accounts, money fund accounts, and/or a personal line of credit 1

Premium Overdraft Service

Premium Overdraft Service allows you to overdraw your account up to the disclosed limit for a fee in order to pay a transaction. Even if you have overdraft protection, Premium Overdraft Service is still available as an additional coverage option if other overdraft protection options are exhausted.
