Coverage for when life happens.

Life happens, and sometimes your balance runs a little short. Overdraft Protection keeps your payments from being declined by automatically transferring funds from another ATFCU account to cover the difference. It’s included with all ATFCU personal checking accounts. No bounced payments. No worries.

How It Works for You

Whether you’re using Everyday Checking, Senior Checking, or a College/Career Account, your payments stay covered when your balance dips below zero.

Funds transfer from a linked savings account or loan advance to cover the transaction, helping you avoid costly penalties and keep your finances on track.
