Courtesy Pay Opt-In

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway.  We can cover your overdrafts in these ways:

• Courtesy Pay allows us to consider overdrawing your account and comes with a per transaction fee each time it is accessed.
• We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a link to a savings account, which may be less expensive than Courtesy Pay. For more information on these plans, please contact us at 850-222-4541.

What are the Courtesy Pay overdraft practices that are possible with my account?

At our discretion, we can authorize to pay overdrafts on your checking account for the following types of transactions:

• Checks and other transactions, such as automatic monthly mortgage and insurance payments
• Reoccurring debit card transactions, such as monthly subscriptions and other prearranged payments
• Automatic bill payments

We will not authorize and pay overdrafts using Courtesy Pay for the following types of transactions unless you ask us to by electing “Yes” on the form below:

• ATM transactions
• Everyday debit card transactions

You must “opt-in” for us to consider approving these types of transactions; otherwise, your transaction will be declined. Courtesy Pay overdrafts are authorized and paid at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.

 Under our Courtesy Pay overdraft practices:

• We will charge you a fee of $35 each time we pay an overdraft.
