Courtesy Pay

Don't Lose A Valuable CCCU Service - Opt In To Courtesy Pay

New legislation that will take effect this summer requires us to ask members to "opt in" for Courtesy Pay. We can no longer automatically offer Courtesy Pay with new accounts that meet credit specifications. Please use this form to opt in to Courtesy Pay. If you do not opt in you will lose Courtesy Pay overdraft coverage on August 15, 2010.

What does Courtesy Pay mean to you?

For example, if you are at the grocery store and you try to buy $100 dollars worth of groceries with your debit card but you only have $92 (less than $100) in your account one of two things will happen: If you "opt in" to Courtesy Pay the transaction will be approved and you will be charged a fee for using Courtesy Pay. If you do NOT "opt in" to Courtesy Pay the transaction will be denied. Community Choice Credit Union does not pay for any fees you incur for a rejected payment.

What You Need to Know about Courtesy Pay and Overdraft Fees

An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. We can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:

  1. We have standard Courtesy Pay practices that come with your account.
  2. We also offer overdraft protection plans, such as a line of credit for those who qualify or a link to a savings account which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, ask us about these plans. To learn more, ask us about these plans.

This notice explains our standard overdraft practices.

You have 15 days from the day of the overdraft occurs to repay or cover the balance.
