Overdraft Protection

• Cash Reserve – This line of credit program protects your checking account from overdrafts and eliminates the overdraft fee by an automatic cash advance transfer ($100 increments only – up to the credit line) from your line of credit to your First Citizens checking account. Interest is calculated daily on the unpaid Cash Reserve balance. Monthly payments are the greater of 5% of the credit line or $10. Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 18%.  Requires credit application and approval.
  
• Overdraft Protection Plan – Link your Statement Savings, Money Market or another checking account to your primary checking account for similar overdraft protection. Overdrafts are covered by authorizing the Bank to transfer the amount of your overdraft plus a $5 charge per business day that a draw is made from your linked account. (Limited by Federal Regulation to six authorized transfers per month.)
