To continue to receive the debit card and ATM overdraft services you currently have, we need to hear from you.

We want to protect you from the embarrassment and inconvenience of a declined point of sale debit card or ATM transaction. Don’t get caught in a difficult situation! You could be at a gas station late at night or paying the bill at a restaurant, and your debit card could be declined if you did not have enough money in your account. These charges could be covered with First Federal’s Courtesy Overdraft Program.

As of August 15th, we can no longer provide our Courtesy Overdraft service for debit and ATM cards without your permission. Courtesy Overdraft is a service we provide which allows us to cover debit card purchases or ATM withdrawals for you when a transaction is more than your balance.

If you want us to authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions: You can call Customer Service at 386-754-0090 or 386-362-7990, visit your local branch or click on the “Opt-In Now” button on the right to sign up today!
