  • Security Golden Checking

*Not all of these accounts are eligible and some restrictions apply to eligible accounts

Overdraft PrivilegeSM Can Mean...

  • You can avoid high charges from merchants for returned checks
  • You have the new convenience and flexibility in managing your funds
  • Payments of overdrafts up to $400 for Security Golden and Free Checking Accounts, $700 for Security Basic Checking Accounts or $1,000 for Security Now Accounts will be normally considered
  • We will charge our $24 overdraft charges, as set forth in our fee schedules, for each item that would create an overdraft on your account.

    Of course, we can't promise to pay every overdraft, not all accounts are eligible, and some restrictions do apply.

    Overdraft PrivilegeSM Service Description
    (A Discretionary Overdraft Service)

     It is the policy of Security State Bank (“the bank, we, us, or our”) to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and to conduct business in accordance with applicable safety and soundness standards.  A non-sufficient funds (negative) balance may result from: A) The payment of checks, electronic funds transfers, or other withdrawal requests; B) Payments authorized by you; C) The return, unpaid, of items deposited by you; D) The imposition of applicable service charges; or E) The deposit of items which according to the bank’s Funds Availability Policy, are treated as not yet “available” or finally paid.  We are not obligated to pay any item presented for payment if your account does not contain sufficient collected funds. Rather than automatically returning, unpaid, any non-sufficient funds items that you may have, if your eligible account (primarily used for personal and household purposes) has been open for at least thirty (30) days and thereafter you maintain your account in good standing, which includes at least: (A) Continuing to make deposits consistent with your past practices, and depositing at least $400 or more in your account within each thirty (30) day period, (B) You are not in default on any loan obligation to Security State Bank, (C) You bring your account to a positive balance (not overdrawn) at least once every thirty (30) days, and (D) Your account is not the subject of any legal or administrative order or levy, we will consider, without obligation on our part, approving your reasonable overdrafts. This discretionary service* will generally be limited to a $400 overdraft (negative) balance for Golden and Free Checking accounts, a $700 overdraft (negative) balance for Basic Checking accounts, or a $1,000 overdraft (negative) balance for NOW accounts. Of course, any and all fees and charges, including without limitation our Non-Sufficient Funds/Overdraft Fees (currently $24 per item) will be included in this limit and will apply to any transaction that overdraws your account. We may refuse to pay an overdraft for you at any time, even though your account is in good standing and even though we may have previously paid overdrafts for you. You will be notified by mail of any non-sufficient funds items paid or returned that you may have; however, we have no obligation to notify you before we pay or return any item. The amount of any overdrafts plus our Non-Sufficient Funds and/or Overdraft Charge(s) that you owe us shall be due and payable upon demand. If there is an overdraft paid by us on an account with more than one (1) owner on the signature card, each owner, and agent if applicable, drawing/presenting the item creating the overdraft, shall be jointly and severally liable for such overdrafts plus our Non-Sufficient Funds and/or Overdraft Charge(s).

    LIMITATIONS: Available only to eligible personal checking accounts primarily used for personal and household purposes. All Business Type Accounts, All Savings Type Accounts, All Money Market Accounts, All Public Fund/Charitable Organization Accounts and Minor Accounts are not eligible. We may limit the number of accounts eligible for Overdraft PrivilegeSM Service* to one account per household.

    *The Overdraft PrivilegeSM Service does not constitute an actual or implied agreement between you an the bank. Nor does it constitute an actual or implied obligation of or by the bank. This service represents a purely discretionary courtesy or privilege that the bank may provide to you from time to time and which may be withdrawn or withheld by us at any time without prior notice, reason, or cause.
