Overdraft Coverage

NIHFCU offers a variety of options that can provide assistance when a transaction exceeds your available balance.

Overdraft Protection– a fee-free option that automatically transfers funds from your NIHFCU savings account (up to 6 per month).

Personal Line of Credit– this line-of-credit4 is a great way to cover overdrafts and provide access to cash for other urgent needs.

Courtesy Pay– if your account is eligible5, we’ll extend up to $700 in additional coverage (including fees) when your other sources are insufficient to cover an overdraft. To extend coverage to also include ATM or everyday debit transactions, you can opt-in to Courtesy Pay Plus. (There is a $30 fee for each overdraft covered by Courtesy Pay or Courtesy Pay Plus.)
