TOPCU Overdraft Tolerance

Sometimes even the best money managers overdraw their account. Your Tucson Old Pueblo Credit Union checking account can be set up to draw funds from your savings account if you overdraw. In addition to your TOPCU savings account, other accounts such as our money market account and personal line of credit can also serve as your overdraft protection. When you open your account, your TOPCU representative will talk with you about your overdraft protection options.

 

Important Information regarding Overdraft Service

Due to government regulations, TOPCU will not cover overdrafts related to debit or ATM cards using Overdraft Tolerance unless you have opted in to this service. Even if you opt in to this service it may be revoked at any time at our discretion. A member must deposit sufficient funds within thirty (30) business days from the date of each overdraft to cover the deficit. Overdrafts are paid as transactions clear the account and are limited each month. Read more here…
