tip Overdraft & Courtesy Pay
We invite you to take advantage of all the fantastic products and services UKFCU offers, including our Courtesy Pay Program, which offers you protection in the event of an accidental overdraft.
Courtesy Pay and Overdraft Protection are convenience services designed to protect our checking account holders from experiencing the frustration, embarrassment, and additional costs of declined transactions or returned checks due to insufficient funds.
In addition to Courtesy Pay, we encourage all checking account holders to authorize Overdraft Protection from their other UKFCU accounts, which may include savings, money market savings, and revolving line of credit loans (Courtesy Pay and Overdraft fees apply).
Courtesy Pay is a non-contractual, discretionary overdraft service available to eligible checking account holders based on their account activity and history. If you are eligible for Courtesy Pay, we may approve overdrafts on your account within your current available Courtesy Pay limit. In addition, a second level of protection is for ATM and debit transactions. According to federal regulations, the Courtesy Pay for ATM you must request. The opt-in form can be found online or ask a representative at UKFCU. We recommend this additional coverage to protect you from unseen emergencies.
To learn more about the new Courtesy Pay Program call us at 859.264.4200 or stop by one of our six locations.
