Overdraft Protection
Overdrafts can be costly mistakes, with some banks charging up to $37.50 per insufficient item, with the possibility of additional charges if your account is negative for more than a few days, and this doesn’t even include the merchant’s fee for a returned check.
At Morehead Community Federal Credit Union we understand that mistakes can happen with your checking account. We want to provide you with a cost efficient way to manage these incidents. MCFCU’s Overdraft Protection Program may cover insufficient funds items, up to your approved limit, for one low fee per covered overdraft transaction. This means, instead of returning a share draft to the merchant because of insufficient funds, the Credit Union may pay your item, saving you the additional merchant collection charges. It also saves you the embarrassment an inadvertent overdraft can cause and helps protect your credit rating.
How does Overdraft Protection work?
Overdrafts on your share draft account, up to a maximum limit of $500 [including the amount of the overdrawn item(s) and the ODP fee(s)] may be honored by MCFCU. A $20 fee will be assessed for each item that draws your account negative. You then have up to 20 days to bring the account current, either through a direct deposit, transfer of funds or a deposit at our office. If you have established other overdraft protection methods, such as automatic transfer from your other accounts, we will always look to pay any overdraft by that method first before paying your overdraft utilizing Overdraft Protection.
How much does Overdraft Protection cost?
It is free until you use it. Then, a $20.00 ODP fee is assessed for each covered overdraft transaction. For example, if you overdraw your account with three items, you will be assessed a fee for each item ($20.00 x 3 items).
How can I access Overdraft Protection?
Overdrafts may be paid utilizing your Overdraft Protection funds up to the limits mentioned above for the following types of transactions:
Checks
Electronic Transactions
Bill Pay
Overdraft Protection is a way for us to provide a higher level of service to our members by helping protect your account and reputation when an inadvertent overdraft occurs.

Overdraft Protection Information
Overdraft Protection is a service that allows us to pay an item presented against your checking account even if it causes the account to become overdrawn.
Overdraft Protection may provide certain account holders in “good standing” with the ability to overdraw their checking account up to $550. The Overdraft Protection limit includes any overdraft fees assessed.
This non-contractual courtesy of paying overdrafts requires no account holder action. No additional agreements need to be signed, and it costs nothing unless the privilege is used – by initiating checks, electronic funds transfers, or other payment or withdrawal requests for more than is on deposit in the account. If you maintain the account in good standing and have need for this courtesy, we may, at our sole discretion, pay the item(s) up to the authorized limit, and we will charge the account our normal Non-Sufficient Funds or ODP charge for each item that overdraws the account. We will send you a notice each time an overdraft occurs.
Although you are not charged for using Overdraft Protection unless you have an overdraft, you may opt-out of Overdraft Protection at any time. If you do not want us to pay your overdrafts, you must notify us in writing (“opt-out”). If you receive a direct deposit social security or other federal benefit check, you must opt-out if you do not want us to apply those funds to repay an overdraft.
Additional information is found in your account agreement. If you have further questions, do not hesitate to call us at 606-784-2201.
