The Overdraft Savings Transfer transfers funds, at no charge to you, from a linked Share Savings account to your checking account when there are insufficient or unavailable funds in your checking account. Funds in your savings account will not automatically transfer to cover a debit card point-of-sale authorization. Your Share Savings account is linked to your checking account of choice unless you decline Overdraft Savings Transfer coverage. See the NFCU Important Disclosures for more information.
