Overdraft Protection

Banner Bank encourages all of our Checking clients to carefully track their balance to avoid overdrafts. Additionally, the Bank offers overdraft protection to help prevent declines of your debit card transactions and so any inadvertent overdrafts, electronically or via check, can be covered.

Banner Bank provides two primary options for overdraft protection:

Link your Banner Savings and Checking accounts

Should your Checking account become overdrawn, funds will be transferred from your linked account in $25 increments. A lesser amount may be transferred if your Savings or linked account balance is not sufficient to satisfy a full $25 increment. There is a $9.00 transfer fee charged only on a day in which the transfer from a deposit account successfully prevents overdrafts on the protected account.

Link your Banner line of credit and checking accounts

Link your Banner Bank Personal Line of Credit^» to your Checking account. Should your checking account become overdrawn, funds will be transferred from your linked Personal Line of Credit in $25 increments. A lesser amount may be transferred if the available balance of the line of credit is not sufficient to satisfy a full $25 increment.

Tracking your balance

Banner offers several different ways to track your checking account balance. Those include:

Online Banking or Mobile Banking. These tools not only display balances, but provide the opportunity to establish Balance alerts through either SMS or E-mail
Banner Bank-By-Phone (800-527-6435) can be used at any time to verify your account balance
