Introducing Santander Safety Net — our updated, more flexible Overdraft Policy that waives overdraft fees for accounts overdrawn $100 or less.*
Overdrafts can happen to the most diligent clients. That's why our new policy is designed to afford you more flexibility when you overdraft your account. Now you're less likely to incur a fee when you go a bit over your balance. We've also limited the number of overdraft fees you can be assessed in a single day and eliminated the fees associated with overdraft protection transfers. In short, it's a policy that keeps your real-world needs in mind and helps you focus on what's important.

*Effective November 8, 2021, if a transaction causes your account’s balance to be overdrawn by one hundred dollars ($100) or less, we will not assess any Insufficient or Unavailable Funds – Item Paid fees for that item. The amount of each of the Insufficient Funds - Item Paid Fee, Insufficient or Unavailable Funds - Item Returned Fee, and Sustained Overdraft Fee is $35. The amount of the Unavailable Funds - Item Paid Fee is $0. An Insufficient or Unavailable Funds - Item Returned Fee may apply for any overdrawn amount. A Sustained Overdraft Fee applies to accounts overdrawn by any amount (negative balance) for five (5) consecutive Business Days when the overdrawn balance at the end of the first day is more than $100, and is assessed to the account on the sixth (6th) Business Day. Fees may be imposed for covering overdrafts created by check, in-person withdrawal, ATM withdrawal, or other electronic means. Whether overdrafts will be paid is discretionary and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is overdrawn for an extended period of time or the overdrawn amount is excessive. Any overdrafts that we pay must be promptly repaid by you.
†We limit withdrawals and transfers out of your savings and money market savings accounts. You can withdraw or transfer funds from a savings or money market savings account a total of six (6) times per Service Fee Period (such as by automatic or pre-authorized transfers using telephone, online banking, mobile banking, overdraft protection, payments to third parties, wire transfers, checks, and drafts). If you repeatedly exceed these limits, we may close or convert your account to a checking account, which may be a non-interest-bearing checking account.
