Checking

Un-Banking is simple, fun and rewarding. Kind of like our checking services.
OVERDRAFT Services
Overdraft Protection
Just because life happens doesn’t mean large overdraft fees need to. Unlike banks, we don’t want to profit from overdrafts, we want to protect you from them. Adding Overdraft Protection to your account allows incidental overdrafts to be covered by:
- Funds from your savings account*
- A People’s Trust line of credit*
Contact us today to add Overdraft Protection to your checking account.
*A small fee of $5.00 is charged to transfer from your savings account or line of credit. Applicable interest applies for line of credit advances.
Overdraft Tolerance
Save the embarrassment of having a declined payment due to insufficient funds. Overdraft Tolerance can cover one-time debit purchases and ATM withdrawals. We offer two kinds of Overdraft Tolerances, Standard and Enhanced. These either come with your account or are available upon request.
Standard Overdraft Tolerance* is automatically available for qualifying accounts. With Standard Overdraft Tolerance, we authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:
- Checks and other transactions such as ACH payments made using your checking account number
- Automatic bill payments
- ATM transactions
- Everyday debit card transactions
Contact us today to add Enhanced Overdraft Tolerance to your checking account.
*For both Overdraft Tolerances, Standard and Enhanced, there will be a $29.00 insufficient fee applied for each overdraft we pay. We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means that we do not guarantee that all transactions will be paid and authorized. If we don't authorize an overdraft payment then your transaction will be declined. Click here for all the Disclosures and Fees
