How do I avoid overdrafts?

You can reduce overdraft risk by tracking balances, setting alerts, and using account tools offered by People Driven Credit Union. How to avoid overdrafts:

Set Low-Balance Alerts

Log in to online banking or open the MyPDCU app. Go to Alerts. Set a low-balance notification for $50 or $100. You get a text or email before you run low.

Review Pending Transactions

Check your account daily in the app. Look at pending purchases and ACH items. This helps you know your true available balance before you spend.

Choose Overdraft Options

We offer Overdraft Protection Transfer for $3 per transfer from linked savings. Courtesy Pay covers items for $30 each at our discretion. You can also opt out of all coverage, so transactions decline with no fee.
