A Special Service for Your Checking Account
At times, unanticipated expenses or unforeseen problems can leave you with too little cash in your checking account. Having a check returned due to insufficient funds can be a costly, inconvenient, and potentially embarrassing experience.
At Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank, we do not encourage overdrafts. As always, we encourage you to manage your finances responsibly. However, we want to save you from the additional merchant fees and possible damage to your credit history that might result if a check is returned. That’s why we provide Overdraft Privilege*, a special overdraft service for Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank’s customers.
*Your Overdraft Privilege limit may be available to approve overdrafts for checks, automatic bill payments, recurring debit card payments and other transactions made using your checking account number. At your request, we may authorize and pay everyday debit card transactions using your limit. If an overdraft is approved, you may be assessed our Overdraft Fee of $30 for each item. All negative balances must be brought positive within 30 calendar days. Woodsville Guaranty Savings Bank reserves the right not to pay if the account is not kept in good standing. Please speak with a customer service representative for more details.
