Another Chance Alert
Our Another Chance program helps you avoid having items returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF). To participate in the program, your Checking account must be enrolled in Overdraft Transfer Service. When sufficient funds are not available in your Checking account and your protecting accounts, Another Chance provides you an additional opportunity to prevent items from being returned.How Another Chance Works
