Avoid Overdrawing Your Account
Firstflex Credit
Avoid the embarrassment of an overdraft with Firstflex Credit - a line of credit that is automatically accessed if your checking account has a negative balance. There is a $25 annual fee for this service and interest is charged on the outstanding balance of the line of credit.
Firstflex Link
Connect your checking account to another deposit account using our Firstflex Link product. This automatic transfer is a safety net in case you run short on money in your checking account. This service may avoid having the embarrassment of overdrawing your account.
Draws will occur in $100.00 increments. For example, if your checking account drops below zero by $5.00, a $100.00 deposit from your savings or money market account will be transferred into your checking account. There is a $10.00 fee per transfer.
