Overdraft Services

This service comes standard with most checking accounts^*. The Bank will consider paying items, at our discretion^** and for a fee, when your account balance at the time of settlement is not enough to cover them. If Atlantic Union Bank does not pay the item, it is returned unpaid and no fee is charged. However, you may be charged a returned fee by the merchant. The Bank does not guarantee an item presented for more than the current balance in your account will be paid.

What is covered?
Checks, automatic bill payments (ACH), recurring debit card transactions, and other transactions that use your checking account number.

What is not covered?
One-time debit card and ATM transactions

How much does it cost?
 

• $38 Overdraft Fee for each paid item.
• Maximum of 4 Overdraft Fees per day. 
• You are expected to repay a negative balance in your account right away.

When is an Overdraft Fee not charged?
When an item is $5 or less or when the item overdraws your account by $5 or less.

Can I opt out?

Yes. You can remove this service at any time for checks, automatic bill payments, and other transactions made using your checking account number. Removing this service does not stop the payment of recurring debit card transactions because you pre-approved those transactions with the merchant.

If you choose to remove Standard Overdraft Privilege, you also opt out of Opt-In Overdraft Privilege. To opt out,
