Caldwell Bank and Trust Company is constantly evaluating new products and better ways to serve our customers.  We have a new service called “Overdraft Courtesy” which is available to personal checking account holders. 

Overdraft Courtesy

Overdraft Courtesy may provide certain account holders in "good standing" with the ability to overdraft their personal checking account up to $300.00.

If the account has been open at least Sixty (60) days and maintained in good standing

Making regular deposits sufficient to cover transactions.
Bringing the account to a positive balance - meaning not overdrawn for more than thirty (30) days consecutively.
Having no legal orders outstanding on your account.

Caldwell Bank & Trust may, at our sole discretion, pay overdrafts up to the limits mentioned above, including our normal Non Sufficient Fund (NSF) and/or Overdraft (OD) charge(s).

Overdraft Courtesy offers additional flexibility and convenience in managing accountholder funds, and provides peace of mind knowing that checks may be paid up to the authorized overdraft courtesy limit.

This non-contractual courtesy or paying overdrafts requires no accountholder action.  It is not a loan and No additional agreements need to be signed, and the cost is nothing unless the privilege is used – by initiating checks, electronic funds transfers, or other payment or withdrawal request for more than is on deposit in the account.  If you maintain the account in good standing and have need for this “courtesy”, we may, at our sole discretion, pay the checks up to the authorized limit, and we will charge the account our normal NSF and/or OD charge for each item that overdraws the account.  We will send you a notice each time an overdraft occurs.

Overdraft Courtesy is another convenience, and another good reason, for banking with Caldwell Bank and Trust Company.

Please read the policy that accompanies this disclosure, to further clarify any questions.  If you still have questions, do not hesitate to call Customer Service or your Account Officer.

Overdraft Courtesy Disclaimer:

The Bank’s Overdraft courtesy plan is a non-contractual courtesy and is discretionary.  It is not an obligation of the bank and the bank may refuse to provide the overdraft courtesy on any personal checking account at any time and from time to time.  The account holder does not have a contractual right to overdraft courtesy and overdraft courtesy is not guaranteed by the Overdraft Courtesy plan.
