Overdraft Transfer Protection

Fidelity Federal offers overdraft transfer protection from an existing Fidelity Federal checking, savings or money maker deposit account. The exact amount of the overdraft plus an applicable fee will be transferred. An overdraft transfer protection form is required for this service.

Also, please note that the number of transfers from a savings or money maker account is limited each month in accordance with Federal Regulation D. Additionally, we may either pay the item or decline and return the item unpaid when there are insufficient funds available in your designated transfer account. In either case, you may be charged a fee.
