Overdraft Protection

Anyone can make a mistake and overdraw a checking account. We offer two services to help you avoid the inconvenience of accidental overdrafts. Opt in to either, or both, to help ensure your transactions won't be declined in the event of an overdraft.

Overdraft Protection

We'll transfer funds from your savings, money market, or line of credit when you don't have money available in your checking account to cover a check or debit transaction.

Courtesy Pay

For qualified Members, for a small fee we'll cover checks, electronic payments, debit card purchases, and transfers that won't clear due to Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), helping you avoid the hassle and expense of declined transactions. Give us a call toll-free at 800.249.2328 or fill out the Courtesy Pay Authorization form to sign up for Courtesy Pay. Once complete, bring the form to any CU SoCal branch. 

What if my debit card is lost or stolen?

If your debit card is lost or stolen, call us immediately at 888.698.7241.
