Overdraft Protection Services

At Mission Fed, we understand that life happens. We’re for people, not profit. Which is why, if you accidentally overdraft your checking account, we have options to keep you covered.

Overdraft Transfer

Overdraft Transfers are free and may be set up to transfer from your Savings account or other applicable share account. You can also set up an Overdraft Transfer from an eligible loan account such as a Credit Card or Line of Credit. To set up Overdraft Transfer, simply send us a secure message via Mobile or Online Banking, call us at 800.500.6328 or visit any of our branches. You will pay interest on the amount transferred depending on how quickly you pay it off, but it is usually much less than the fees of other coverage services.

Overdraft Protection

Overdraft Protection is extended to members for their good account management. When there are not enough funds available, this service may pay checks and Automated Clearing House (ACH) items that are coming out of the account as payments.

There is no fee to enroll, and no fee will be charged unless you use the service and the transaction results in a negative balance that is greater than $10; the fee is $10 per item with a $30 per share maximum daily total fees we can charge for overdrawing your account. (Please check our fee schedule.)

Find out if your account qualifies for this service and complete program details including how to enroll by calling us at 858.524.2850 or 800.500.6328 or ask at any branch. Overdraft Protection is not available on Breeze Spending Accounts.

This service is not a credit product; it is intended for occasional use only, and should not be relied upon when you know funds are not available in your account.

Debit Card Overdraft Protection

When you enroll with Debit Card Overdraft Protection, Mission Fed may authorize your PIN and signature-based Debit Card purchase transactions, even if there is not enough money in your checking account to cover them.

There is no fee to enroll, and no fee will be charged unless you use the service and the transaction results in a negative balance that is greater than $10; the fee is $10 per item with a $30 per share maximum daily total fees we can charge for overdrawing your account (Please check our fee schedule.)

If you have a Breeze Spending account, free overdraft protection for debit card transactions is available up to $20 without direct deposit and up to $100 with direct deposit. (Please check our fee schedule.)

This is not a credit product; it is an overdraft protection program that is intended to be used occasionally for inadvertent overdrafts only and should not be relied upon when you know funds are not available in your account.

Find out if your account qualifies for this service and complete program details including how to enroll by logging in to Mobile or Online Banking, then going to Member Services, Debit Card Overdraft Protection. Or call us at 858.524.2850 or 800.500.6328 or ask at any branch.
