    Let us help take care of you

    Courtesy Pay is a form of overdraft protection we provide to qualified checking account holders. If you write a check and don’t have sufficient funds, Courtesy Pay may temporarily cover you so you can make your purchase. In each case you will be charged a $28 fee and must bring your checking account back up to a positive balance within 30 days. This protection can also be extended to cover overdrafts caused by debit card transactions, ATM withdrawals, automated transfers and online bill payments.

    Overdrafts are paid at the credit union’s sole discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined and you will still be assessed a $28 fee from us for having non-sufficient funds, plus the merchant will likely charge you a fee.

    You're automatically enrolled

    As a convenience, we enroll all new checking account members so they can be covered for overdrawn checks, but you can choose to also have other types of transactions covered. At any time, you can opt out of this coverage by contacting us and completing an Electronic Overdraft Service Authorization Form.

    1. 1

      Protect your credit

      Avoid getting entangled with a collections agency and getting a ding on your credit score.

    2. 2

      Eliminate embarassment

      Pay for what you need to, without any hiccups.

    3. 3

      Dodge the extra fees

      If your transaction is approved by the credit union even though you don't have enough money in your checking account, you only pay a fee to us rather than having to pay us the same fee on top of a fee charged by the merchant.

    FAQs

    It can clear at any time. Payments you make can be processed very quickly, so don't make a payment from your checking account unless you already have the money in it (past any hold time) to cover it.
    If and when you try use your debit card at the point-of-sale or an ATM and don't have enough money in your checking account to cover the amount, the transaction will be declined and no fee will be assessed. That could leave you standing in line with a cart full of groceries or merchandise and no way to pay for it unless you have another form of payment with you. Equally frustrating and embarrassing would be having your transaction declined at a restaurant, especially if dining out with friends, co-workers or family members.
    Holds are placed on cash and check deposits at ATMs, and there may be holds placed on check deposits at branches.
    Yes, we will automatically transfer money from your savings to your checking account, and the cost is just $5. If you do not have sufficient funds in your savings account, an overdraft line of credit would be utilized next. If you do not have an overdraft line of credit set up with us, Courtesy Pay is used as your last line of defense.
    Courtesy Pay is not a line of credit or an invitation to overdraw your checking account. It is intended for use as an added layer of security if you accidentally overdraw your account. Courtesy Pay is free to set up. If you never overdraw your checking account, you will never be charged anything. Should you overdraw on your account, you will be charged a $28 Courtesy Pay fee for each item we pay against an overdrawn account. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined, in which case you will still be charged $28 for non-sufficient funds. Overdrafts are paid at our discretion; we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.
    Courtesy Pay is non-contractual and requires no applications or signatures to activate coverage for checks you write. If you have a checking account with Arsenal, you are automatically enrolled but can choose to opt out at any time by contacting us. If you would like this coverage extended for other types of transactions (debit card, ATM, automated payments you've set up, etc.), you will need to let us know you want to "opt in."
    Once a Courtesy Pay transaction has cleared, you have 30 days to bring your account back up to a positive balance, either through a direct deposit, transfer of funds or a deposit at one of our branches.
    Courtesy Pay is free to set up. If you never overdraw your checking account, you will never be charged anything. Should you overdraw on your account, you will be charged a $28 fee for each item we pay against an overdrawn account.
    To avoid Courtesy Pay fees, make sure to monitor your account activity. We offer several free services for you to do this, including online and mobile banking. When you receive your monthly account statement from us, be sure reconcile it and update your balance by subtracting any service charges and adding any dividends shown.
