    Opt-in—an option you should know about

    When you have an overdraft as a result of a debit card or ATM transaction, we may cover the shortfall and approve the transaction, charging you a fee of $30.00. In order for us to do this, we need your written permission or opt-in before covering ATM and one-time debit transactions when the funds are not available.

    FAQ

    Q: What are IC's standard overdraft practices that come with my account?

    We do authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:

    • Checks
    • Checks and other transactions using your checking account number
    • Automatic bill payments

     

    We do not authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to:

    • ATM transactions
    • Everyday debit card transactions

    We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.

    Q: What fees will be charged if IC pays my overdraft?

    Under our standard overdraft practices the following fees are imposed (if more than one fee is checked, both the first fee checked and any additional fee checked are imposed):

    • A fee of $30 will be assessed to your account for each insufficient fund incident triggering an overdraft.
    • An IC Courtesy Pay fee of $30 will be debited to your account for each individual overdraft payment made by us.

    There are no daily limits for overdraft fees. Please see the fee schedule for more information.

    Q: What if I want to authorize and pay overdrafts on my ATM and everyday debit card transactions?

    If you want us to authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions, please stop by an IC office near you to sign documentation requesting this service.

    You may cancel your IC Courtesy Pay Overdraft Protection at any time by coming to one of our branches or calling (800) 262-1001.
