Overdraft Protection

Overdraft Protection with You in Mind

If you lose track of your account
balance and withdraw more money than is in your account, we’ve got you covered. Bank of St. Francisville overdraft protection lets you link a savings or other account to automatically transfer your funds when you need them.

For customers with accounts in good standing, we offer Overdraft Privilege which provides $500 of protection for a $28 NSF fee in the event your account is overdrawn.

Bank of St. Francisville offers a variety of overdraft protection plans to cover overdrafted transactions. To activate overdraft protection on your account, contact our branch office.
