Overdraft Services
WaFd Bank is here to help you avoid fees wherever possible. We have two services you can take advantage of to avoid overdraft fees, as WaFd does not offer overdraft protection.
If your debit card is used for a purchase and there aren't enough funds in your account, the transaction will be declined and no charge will be assessed.
But, without overdraft protection, if you have a check, automatic withdrawal (ACH withdrawal) set to come out of your account and there isn't enough in your account to cover it, the check or ACH will be returned and a nonsufficient funds fee of $30 will be charged to your account. To avoid that fee, we offer two convenient overdraft protection options:
| Overdraft Protection Funds will transfer from another account of your choice in case of an overdraft. | Overdraft Line of Credit Funds will transfer from your line of credit, which does not require an existing balance. Borrow and pay back as needed. | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Fees: | $0, only one account holder is needed to set it up | $21 Credit Report Fee |
| Overdraft Transfer Fee: | No transfer fee | No transfer fee |
| Coverage: | Checks, automatic payments, recurring payments, as long as funds are available in your linked account to cover the transaction. | Checks, ATM withdrawals, debit card purchases, automatic payments, and recurring payments, up to your credit limit. |
| Payment: | N/A | Pay back the balance over time with an automatic payment of 2.5% of outstanding balance or $50, whichever is greater. |
