Overdraft Protection applies to all transactions and may help prevent overdrafts by automatically transferring funds to your checking account from another account, or line of credit you may have at Gulf Credit Union for a fee or finance charge. Please note that overdraft lines of credit are subject to credit approval.
Privilege Pay allows you to overdraw your account up to the disclosed limit for a fee to pay a transaction. Even if you have Overdraft Protection, Privilege Pay is still available as secondary coverage if the other protection source is exhausted. Please review the “What Else You Should Know” for other important information.
