Bounce Protection is an overdraft privilege requiring no action on your part.You do not have to sign anything. Your Bounce Protection limit will be automatically assigned.

How does Bounce Protection work?

As long as you maintain your account in good standing, Peoples Bank & Trust generally will honor overdrafts up to the Bounce Protection limit on your account. When you use Bounce Protection you should remember that the bank’s normal insufficient funds fee (NSF) for each transaction will be deducted from your limit. As before, the bank will notify you when an overdraft occurs. No interest will be charged on the overdraft balance.

How long do I have to repay my Bounce Protection?

To maintain your account in good standing, you should bring your account to a positive balance within 30 days. If you are unable to do so, you will receive a letter informing you of the situation and your options.

How do I know when I used the overdraft privilege?

You will receive an overdraft notice each time items are paid. The notice will show the check number, amount and NSF fee. You should subtract the total fees from your checkbook.

What if I go beyond my Bounce Protection limit?

Overdrafts above your established Bounce Protection limit may result in a check or checks being returned. The normal NSF fee will be charged per item and assessed to your account. An NSF notice will be sent to notify you.

How soon can I use Bounce Protection?

Your limit will be available for your use on the first business day following your account opening.

Bounce Protection Customer Overdraft Policy. An insufficient balance could result in several ways, such as (a) the payment of checks, automatic funds transfers, or other withdrawal requests; (b) payments authorized by you; (c) the return of unpaid items you have deposited; (d) bank service charges; or (e) deposits that are not yet available according to the bank's Funds Availability Policy. We are not obligated to pay an item presented for payment if your account does not contain sufficient funds. However, if you maintain your account in good standing (defined as making regular deposits to bring your account to a positive balance at least once every 30 days,) and there are no legal orders outstanding, we may approve your reasonable overdrafts as a non-contractual courtesy. Normally, we will not approve an overdraft for you in excess of the agreed limit assigned to your account type, including NSF fees(s). We may refuse to pay an overdraft for you at any time, even though we may have previously paid overdrafts for you. You will be notified of any insufficient funds items paid or returned; however, we may have previously paid overdrafts for you. You will be notified of any insufficient funds items paid or returned; however, we have no obligation to notify you prior to paying or returning an item. If there is an overdraft paid by us on an account with more than one owner, each owner shall be jointly liable for the overdraft plus our NSF fee(s).
