Provides for payment of insufficient funds checks up to pre-set limit, with fee based on NSF checks presented. This means that should you inadvertently overdraw your account we have the discretion to cover your overdrafts up to the pre-set limit after first subtracting the amount of the overdraft fee(s) as outlined in the Discretionary Overdraft Privilege Policy. Since the amount of Discretionary Overdraft Privilege will be shown in your available balance, it may be available to you for ATM cash withdrawals, ACH transactions, telephone and Internet banking and when you use your check card or write a check for purchases at retail merchants. When your items are paid, this service will help save you the embarrassment and inconvenience of a returned item as well as the fee normally charged to you by merchants for items returned to them. Overdraft Privilege is not a line of credit.

You may remove Discretionary Overdraft Privilege from your account(s) at any time by completing and signing an opt out form.

Available on most accounts after qualifying period. Contact your nearest FirstBank Southwest location for additional information.

All funds in a “noninterest-bearing transaction account” are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012.  This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

The term “noninterest-bearing transaction account” includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest.  It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit account that may earn interest, NOW accounts, money-market deposit accounts, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (“IOLTAs”).
