Overdraft practices and protection plans
MidWestOne Bank offers several options to choose from to protect your Checking Account in the event a transaction results in an overdrawn balance.
You should know that we will not authorize ATM and everyday check card (debit) transactions that will overdraw your account without first receiving your affirmative consent to do so.
Electronic monitoring and alerts
Our online and mobile banking service gives you the opportunity to customize account alerts. You can be notified via email, text message, or both if your account balance ever falls below a particular threshold. This service is free, though text and data rates may apply.
Overdraft protection plans
You can choose one - or all - of the services below. If you select more than one option, the service will be activated in numerical order or as you elect:
1. Automatic transfer from Checking, Savings, or Money Market accounts
Cost: $10/transfer (sales tax may apply)
Transfers between account will be made in increments of $100 to cover each overdraft on your Checking Account. Debit card and ATM transactions will be authorized up to the available balance in your transfer account.
2. Automatic transfer from an eligible line of credit
Cost: No fee (subject to credit approval)
Advances in increments of $100 on an eligible Line of Credit can be made to cover each overdraft on your Checking Account up to your credit limit. Check Card (debit) and ATM transactions will be authorized based on your available balance in your transfer account. Interest will be charged per your loan agreement on the outstanding balance on your Line of Credit. (HELOC, Reserve LOC, Commercial or AG LOC ONLY)
