Privilege Pay for Debit Card Transactions
Debit cards are convenient, and these days it's hard to imagine life without them. They make it easy to make purchases, but they can make it difficult to keep track of your account balance. By opting in to our Privilege Pay program for everyday debit card transactions, you can rest assured your transactions will be processed, even if you are a little short on funds in your account.
While we all strive to manage our finances responsibly, we also understand that life doesn't always go according to plan. By opting in to Privilege Pay for everyday debit card transactions, you'll know that you've got protection available to you when you need it most.
With Privilege Pay, if you use your debit card to make a purchase and you don't have the funds available, we may, at our discretion, process the transaction for the amount requested. A Privilege Pay fee of $30.00 will then be charged for covering your transaction. You pay nothing if you never use it. If you use Privilege Pay, your account balance should be brought to a positive level as soon as possible, but at least within 30 days of your first use of Privilege Pay.
We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.
You must opt-in to Privilege Pay for everyday debit card transactions to receive this service. Contact us at 860-563-2617 or 800-842-1778 to learn more and opt-in.
You may opt-out of this service at any time.
Privilege Pay fee is $30 per item. Debit card transactions are eligible. Members must repay the Privilege Pay balance within 30 days. Privilege Pay is a discretionary service. This means we can refuse to pay any overdraft for any reason.
