Avoid Overdrawing Your Account:

Firstflex Link - connect your checking account to another deposit account. This automatic transfer is a safety net if you run short of money in your checking 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.
Firstflex Credit - a line of credit that is automatically accessed if your checking account has a negative balance. This service has a $25.00 annual fee, and interest is charged to the outstanding line of credit balance.
