Overdraft Protection
Peace of Mind When You Need It
When life happens, overdraft protection can give you the peace of mind you need. An overdraft occurs when you don’t have enough money in your account to cover a transaction, but we still pay it on your behalf. We encourage all members to meet with a Workers WayTM Financial coach to determine the best coverage to fit their needs.
Sweep Transfer
A Sweep Transfer1 links your checking account to another Workers account--this will be the “sweep account”. If your checking account is overdrawn, a transfer will be made at the time of your overdraft from your sweep account as long as the funds are available, plus a small fee for the transfer.
Checking Line of Credit
If you’re approved for a revolving line of credit,2 we will link it to your checking account so funds will be transferred from your available credit to cover your transaction if needed. Interest at a fixed rate will only accrue on the used balance of your line of credit and you can repay monthly or payoff in one lump sum with no penalties. An annual fee applies, see our fee schedule .
