If you are opted into an overdraft option, then transactions on your checking account that are above your available balance will be paid and you will receive an overdraft fee. If you are opted out the transactions won't go through. We do not charge a nonsufficient fund (NSF) fee for this.

This fee comes into play when you use our overdraft services. An overdraft fee is a charge a financial institution imposes when a customer's checking account has insufficient funds to cover a transaction, but the transaction is still paid.
The best way is to keep a close eye on your account balance. Make sure there's enough in your account to cover your transactions. Budgeting well and regularly checking your balance can help avoid surprises. Setting up regular balance alerts in the Digital Branch to keep an eye on your balance is a great way to avoid overdraft fees as well. You can also set up a transfer from a savings account, credit card, or loan to cover your accounts.
