Privilege Pay Overdraft Service

Privilege Pay saves you the extra hassles of dealing with a denied transaction by covering checks, ACHs and bill payments for eligible accounts.* If you would like Privilege Pay to cover everyday ATM/debit card transactions, simply log into Digital Banking, and select Privilege Pay from the Tools menu. There is a $29 fee each time Privilege Pay is accessed. You may opt out of this service at any time through Digital Banking or by contacting us.

How Privilege Pay Works

• Privilege Pay allows you to overdraw your account in order to pay items presented by check, ACH, or bill pay. Everyday debit/ATM transactions are not covered. 
• You can view your Privilege Pay usage at any time by reviewing your statement or Online Banking history.
• The credit union will use your Available Balance when determining if you have sufficient funds to pay an item. Your available balance may be different from your Ledger and/or Current balance, depending upon pending transactions.
• Items are processed in accordance with our clearing order: checks clear in check number order; ACH debits clear in the order that they are presented from the Federal Reserve; and ATM/Debit transactions clear in the order that they are presented from our card processor. 
• We do not have Authorize Positive, Settle Negative (APSN) fees.  A debit card transaction Privilege Pay fee only occurs if the account does not have a sufficient available balance to cover the transaction at the time you initiate the transaction and you have elected to have debit card transactions covered. 
• Once your account is overdrawn, you must restore a positive balance within 30 days, in order to avoid suspension of the service and/or other collection efforts.

*This service is not available for everyone. If you are eligible, it will automatically be added to your checking account(s). Market USA will normally pay overdrafts within Privilege Pay limits; however, payment by Market USA is a discretionary courtesy and not a right or obligation. We may refuse to pay an overdraft for you at any time even though we may have previously paid overdrafts for you. The Privilege Pay service may be withheld by Market USA at any time without prior notice reason or cause.
