†Overdraft protection/Line of Credit Cash Reserve are not available on this account. We may decline or return transactions that would result in an overdraft. Checks that cause the account to become overdrawn will be returned unpaid. The payee may charge additional fees when the check is returned. Some transactions that you make may cause your account to become overdrawn that are beyond our control, but we will not assess an overdraft fee or a return item fee to your account. For example, preauthorized transactions may post to your account even when the balance in your account is not sufficient to pay the transaction.
