    Frequently Asked Questions

    Overdraft Protection Transfer is an optional service offered by People Driven Credit Union that allows eligible members to link a savings account to a checking account. If there are insufficient funds in your checking account to cover a transaction, available funds from the linked savings account may be automatically transferred to cover the shortfall. This service is designed to reduce the likelihood of declined transactions or returned items due to insufficient funds (NSF). Key details:
    • Transfers occur only if sufficient funds are available in the linked account.
    • A per-transfer fee may apply. View our current fee schedule.
    • Funds are transferred in the exact amount needed to cover the transaction, subject to available balance and transfer limits.
    Overdraft Protection Transfers are subject to account eligibility, terms, and limitations. Not all accounts qualify. Transfers from savings accounts are subject to regulatory and policy limits. For full details, contact a PDCU representative or review our account disclosures.

    Contactless cards offer several benefits over traditional cards that require a physical swipe or insertion into a card reader. Some of these benefits include:

    1. Speed: Contactless cards can be scanned quickly and easily, resulting in faster and more efficient transactions. This can be especially useful in high-traffic retail environments where lines are lengthy.
    2. Convenience: Contactless cards eliminate the need for physical swiping or insertion, making them particularly useful for people on the go, such as commuters or those running errands.
    3. Increased security: Contactless cards reduce the risk of fraud by utilizing near-field communication (NFC) technology, which establishes a secure connection between the card and the card reader. Additionally, the risk of card skimming is reduced because a contactless card remains in the cardholder's possession.
    4. Reduced contact: Because contactless cards can be scanned without physical contact, they can help reduce the spread of germs and bacteria, which is especially important during a pandemic.
    5. Adoption: Contactless payments are becoming increasingly widespread; it may be more convenient for cardholders to have contactless cards, as many merchants are now accepting them.

    Contactless card transactions are generally faster and more convenient than traditional card transactions.

    Courtesy Pay is a discretionary overdraft service offered by People Driven Credit Union to eligible members with checking accounts in good standing. If you do not have sufficient funds available in your account to cover a transaction, we may choose to pay it on your behalf, up to a preset limit. This service is intended to help avoid declined transactions or returned items due to insufficient funds (NSF). Courtesy Pay may apply to the following types of transactions:
    • Checks
    • ACH transactions (such as electronic bill payments)
    • Recurring debit card payments
    To extend Courtesy Pay coverage to everyday debit card transactions (such as point-of-sale or ATM transactions), you must provide affirmative consent (opt-in). Contact us to learn more or to request opt-in coverage.

    Important Disclosures:

    • Eligibility is based on account history and credit union discretion. Not all accounts qualify.
    • A per-item overdraft fee will apply to each transaction we pay using Courtesy Pay. View our current fee schedule.
    • There is no guarantee that we will authorize and pay any transaction, even if your account is eligible for Courtesy Pay.
    Courtesy Pay is not a line of credit. Any negative balance must be repaid promptly. Repeated or excessive use may result in suspension of the service. Courtesy Pay is a discretionary service provided by People Driven Credit Union. The credit union reserves the right to suspend or discontinue this service at any time. Terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements apply. For full details, contact us or review our Courtesy Pay disclosure.

    2. Courtesy Pay

    • Applies to checks, ACH, and recurring payments (opt-in required for everyday debit card use)
    • A per-item fee applies for each overdraft covered
    Important: Courtesy Pay is a discretionary service, not guaranteed. You must bring your account to a positive balance within 30 days to remain eligible. Other restrictions may apply.

    3. No Overdraft Service
