If the account balance above reflects a negative balance, please deposit funds to bring your account back to a positive balance. Generally, your account must be brought to a positive balance within 32 days from the first overdraft to avoid suspension of overdraft privileges or the account being closed. Any item (check, ACH, or other electronic transaction) that is initially returned to the payee because the available balance in your account was not sufficient to cover the item can be represented by the payee for payment multiple times, which is beyond our control. We will charge an overdraft or return item fee of $32 regardless of the number of times an item is presented to us for payment against insufficient funds, and regardless of whether we pay or return the item. 11Money Market Accounts: There is no minimum balance requirement to open these accounts.
