6 If a transaction causes your account's balance to be overdrawn by one hundred dollars ($100) or less, we will not assess any Insufficient Item Paid fee(s) for that item. The amount of the Insufficient Funds Item Paid Fee, and Sustained Overdraft Fee is $15. 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.
