FINANCIALLY FIT TIP #5 -- Relieve Financial Stress with Check Credit!
Typically, when you overdraw your checking account, your payment is either denied or you face extra fees. With the help of Border State Bank’s Check Credit1, you can minimize these unexpected issues and financial stress.
Bank overdrafts occur and an overdraft fee is charged to you when a debit transaction (for example, a check, ATM withdrawal or debit card purchase) exceeds the available balance in your account and the bank still approves the transaction. As a checking account customer, you know how important it is to keep track of your balances to avoid the inconvenience and expense of overdrafts and accompanying fees.2
Border State Bank offers customers a simple solution with a product called Check Credit. It’s a convenient line of credit tied to your Border State Bank checking account3 for those unexpected purchases or to automatically cover you should you accidentally overdraw your account. These funds can be accessed via Online Banking, Voice Banking, by overdrawing your checking account tied to the check credit or by stopping into any Border State Bank.
To learn more about Border State Bank Check Credit product, call or stop by any local Border State Bank and speak with a Loan Officer or Personal Banker.
