Courtesy Pay

Courtesy Pay can provide extra protection and peace of mind for those times (overdrafts) when there are just not enough funds in your Checking Account to cover a transaction, whether it’s from paying a bill with a paper check or using a Debit Card for a purchase.

Learn more about Overdraft Protection and our Courtesy Pay program below:

When you link your E-Central Savings Account to your Checking Account, you’ll avoid the costly fees associated with having insufficient funds in your account. A personal line of credit​ also can be used as a financial backstop. When your checking balance falls below zero, funds will be transferred automatically to your Checking Account.

E-Central’s Courtesy Pay service covers overdrafts from checks, Visa Debit Card and ATM transactions.

  • We honor up to $300, $500 or $1,000 in overdrafts++
  • For transactions $5.00 or less, there will be no fee (Effective: June 1, 2016)
  • We charge your account when an overdraft occurs and notify you by mail
  • We limit overdraft fees to a maximum of four (4) fees per day. (Effective: June 1, 2016)

  • You must bring your account current within 15 days

If the required monthly reward transaction count is not met during the MQC, no transactions are counted for any reward during that MQC or the bonus reward.
