Open an Account

Have peace of mind knowing your financial institution has you covered if you accidentally overdraw your checking account.

Overdraft Privilege from Siskiyou Credit Union will transfer funds into your account from one of your other accounts—like a Share Account or Line of Credit for you when there isn’t enough money to cover a transaction.

• No overdraft fee from Share Accounts up to 6 per month
• Avoid embarrassing declines and returned item fees
• Pays overdrafts for ATM transactions, ACH and debit transactions, online payments, transfers, and more
• Apply to have overdraft come from Personal Line of Credit

We all make mistakes. It happens to everyone¬– sometimes we accidentally overdraw our checking account. With Siskiyou Credit Union, you don’t have to worry because we’ve got you covered with Courtesy Pay.

Courtesy Pay is different from our Overdraft Privilege because we’ll cover you if you overdraw and don’t have enough in a Share Account to cover the transaction. 

• Save money by avoiding things like merchant fees and check return fees
• Low $30 fee per item
• We’ll cover up to $750
• Avoid embarrassing transaction declines at the register
• We’ll cover check, ACH, or reoccurring debt card payments
