Courtesy Pay is our form of overdraft protection. 90 days after opening your checking account, we will automatically grant you $500 of overdraft protection. Courtesy Pay is a safety net. If your checking account balance is ever too low to clear your transaction, Courtesy Pay will kick in to cover it.
