What You Need to Know:
Overdrafts:
An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but BoKS pays it anyway. BoKS can cover your overdrafts in two different ways:
Gives you the security of having an overdrawn check covered
Saves you the embarrassment of having a check returned
To learn more, ask us about these plans.
We may pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we DO NOT GUARANTEE we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we do NOT authorize and pay an overdraft, your transactions will be declined. BoKS may at its discretion and at anytime, discontinue the Overdraft Allowance program on your account and declare all balances due and payable.
