FTA Overdraft Protection
We don’t think you should ever have to worry about insufficient funds. Overdraft protection is a pre-arranged coverage for any overdraFTA approved by FTA that may occur based on your actual or available balance. We offer several options designed to protect you from budget miscalculations and NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) fees 2.
- Transfer from a regular savings: Link your checking and savings accounts so you can transfer money from savings to cover checks and debit transactions.
- Coverage through a personal line of credit account: Your checking account can be directly linked to your personal line of credit, allowing you to automatically cover checks or debit card transactions.

Bounce-free checking protection: With bounce-free checking protection from FTA, you can avoid the high fees and hassles that come from insufficient funds. If you overdraw your account, FTA will cover your checks, ATMs or point-of-sale transactions, and electronic transfers (ACH) 3 to ensure your transaction goes through. There is a small fee.
