Courtesy Pay

Life is hectic. Mistakes can happen! We can help cover for you if you accidentally overdraw on your account using your Visa® Debit Card. 

This safety net keeps your transactions from crashing

Emergency backup for your Debit Card
Opt in to Courtesy Pay to avoid declined transactions.
Convenience for a small fee
We'll cover your transaction if your account balance falls short.
Enroll for free
You only pay a fee if you use the service.

We have your back 

You might find yourself in a tight spot where your balance is too low and your Overdraft Protection can't cover your transaction. That's where Courtesy Pay comes in. We'll make up the difference discreetly to keep you out of embarrassing situations. 

  • Courtesy Pay activates at our discretion for members in good standing
  • Avoid merchant fees that accompany declined payments
  • Our fee is significantly lower than banks' fees, and never more than the amount of the transaction
