OVERDRAFT PROTECTION
MidWestOne Bank offers several options to choose from to protect your checking account in the event a transaction results in an overdrawn balance.
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 on your Overdraft Protection Authorization:
1. Automatic transfer from Checking, Savings or Money Market accounts
Cost: No Cost
Transfers between accounts 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 the transfer account. If you enroll in this service, it will be utilized before any other overdraft protection plan.
2. Automatic transfer from a line of credit
Cost: No cost (subject to credit approval)
Transfers from lines of credit will be made in increments of $100 to cover each overdraft on your checking account up to your credit limit. Home Equity lines of credit and Reserve line of credit are eligible for this service. Interest will be charged per your loan agreement on the outstanding balance on your line of credit. We do not charge a fee for this service. Line of credit transfers occur if no deposit transfer has been selected or funds are not sufficient in your deposit transfer account to cover the overdraft.
3. Occasional Overdraft Privilege Service (OOPS)
Cost: No Cost
OOPS pays occasional overdrafts up to $800 for eligible consumer accounts. Our fees will be added to your outstanding overdrafts and will be applied against your OOPS limit. This service is offered at the discretion of MidWestOne Bank and is a purely discretionary courtesy that we may provide for you. Overdrafts must be repaid within 60 days. OOPs will be utilized only after all other overdraft protection plan options have been exhausted or if no other plan has been selected. Newly opened eligible checking accounts will be automatically enrolled in OOPS after the account has been open for 30-days unless you choose to opt-out of this service. There is no cost to be enrolled in OOPS and no fees will be charged if the service is not used, however, overdraft fees will still apply.
