Overdraft Protection

You've got a lot going on in your life - classes, research, papers to write, and of course, having a social life on top of it all. So we know how easy it can be to be forgetful about some of the little things in life - a trip to the bookstore, a late night coffee or just a snack between classes - especially when it comes to keeping track of your day-to-day finances. It all adds up quickly. And the last thing you need is to be surprised at the checkout line when you're told your card is declined due to lack of funds in your account.

With Automated Overdraft Protection, you can avoid embarrassing surprises and have a little bit of a cushion should you have a temporary lapse of memory. It's easy to set up. You just link your checking account to another account such as a savings, money market or another checking account.  Funds are transferred from your linked account when needed to prevent your checking account from being overdrawn. It's like using your (or your parents') money to protect itself.  A $2 fee applies to each transfer.  

Sign-up for Automated Overdraft Protection by visiting a local Burke & Herbert Bank branch or call us at 703-684-1655 to learn more.
