Alliance offers several ways to bounce-proof your checking account!

We understand just how busy your life is these days, and staying on top
of outgoing payments is not always easy. It happens to all of us.  You make an honest mistake in your checkbook.  You’re a little short of cash 2-3 days before payday. Unusual or unforeseen circumstances pop up at just the wrong time. That’s why Alliance Credit Union offers options for overdraft protection on your checking account.

Option One: Transfer from Another Deposit Account

You can arrange for another deposit account to transfer automatically to prevent your checking account from being overdrawn. Regulation D limits the number of automatic transfers to non-transactional accounts (i.e., non-checking) to 6 per month.

A nominal convenience fee will be charged per transfer.

Option Two: Overdraft Line of Credit

An overdraft line of credit gives you automatic protection when you need it, up to your credit limit.  There’s no cost to you unless you use it.  When you do, the interest is only pennies per day compared to expensive NSF and merchant returned check charges.

Your overdraft line also provides you with a personal line of credit to use for
whatever you need just by writing a check from your checking account.
You can also access your credit line by transferring available funds to another
Alliance  account through Virtual Branch Online Banking.

Option Three: Courtesy Pay

Even after the overdraft protection options above, you’re still covered with Courtesy Pay.  As a last line of defense, Courtesy Pay may cover your insufficient funds checks, up to your approved limit, for one fee per covered overdraft transaction.  Although you pay the fee, it protects you from additional merchant returned check fees, as well as the embarrassment of an NSF check.

Courtesy Pay goes into effect automatically after 60 days of having a checking account in good standing. This special service is available only after all overdraft protection options have been exhausted and is only available to qualified members.

Option Four: Extended Courtesy Pay

Be sure to opt-in below to extend this service to cover your everyday Debit/ATM transactions!

By opting in, we will cover any inadvertent mistakes made with your debit/ATM card. No more declined transactions at the register due to insufficient funds.

Opt-in today! 

Direct Deposit is when your entire paycheck automatically gets deposited directly into your checking account when you get paid. Ask an Alliance Financial Services Representative for more details about how to set up direct deposit with your employer.
