With extensive overdraft options, Partners 1st is sure to have you covered! From basic to extended overdraft protection, you control how much coverage you want on your accounts. Transfers from savings accounts and lines of credit will be applied first, and then Privilege Pay will come into play.

Privilege Pay
Our standard Privilege Pay benefits are automatically provided to checking account members that qualify ** and meet certain criteria. These benefits only apply to checks, ACH, bill pay, recurring debit card transactions, and teller transactions.
We are proud to offer our members an extended overdraft coverage option for your everyday debit card and ATM transactions. This extended coverage will vary day-by-day, and is optional. If you want to add it to your account, visit your local branch or call our Member Support Team.
* Rates based on creditworthiness, so your rate may differ.
** Overdraft coverage will weigh numerous variables, including but not limited to: age of account, deposit amounts, account status, previous overdraft activity, and more. With this information, your overdraft limit may change daily with the potential to be reduced to $0.
