Overdraft Protection

Safeguard yourself from returned checks, preserve your credit rating, and protect yourself against overdraft charges by selecting an optional Overdraft Protection service.

Savings Sweep

Automatically transfer funds from your savings account to your checking account to prevent an inadvertent overdraft. You'll save because the cost is only $5 each day that a transfer is made regardless of the number of checks processed that day. The usual overdraft charge is $30 for every check returned for insufficient funds.

Courtesy Pay

Sign up for Courtesy Pay. Instead of declining or returning an item for insufficient funds, we may, at our option, pay for transactions up to a total of $1,500 when there isn't enough money in your account. There is a $30 charge for each item paid, which is the same fee you would pay if the item had been declined or returned. You must have an active account in good standing. Ask a Customer Service representative to learn how you qualify and for a copy of the Overdraft Privilege Service Policy.

Automatic Cash Management Sweep

Maximize your income, earn higher interest rates, and maintain ready access to your cash, without investing extra time. We can automatically manage your cash. You set the amount of money you want to keep in your checking account each day. After your daily transactions are reconciled, any amount in excess of the amount you set is automatically transferred into a high-interest sweep account. If the reconciled amount is less than what you set, the funds you need are transferred to your commercial checking account.

Overdraft Protection

Safeguard yourself from returned checks, preserve your credit rating, and protect yourself against overdraft charges by selecting an optional Overdraft Protection service.

Savings Sweep

Automatically transfer funds from your statement savings account or line of credit to your checking account to prevent an inadvertent overdraft. You'll save because the cost is only $5 each day that a transfer is made regardless of the number of checks processed that day. Automatically transfer funds when you need it from a line of credit that is linked to your account. There is no transfer charge, although you pay interest for using the line of credit. The line of credit can be used as a reserve in the event of an overdraft, or as a borrowing account.

Courtesy Pay

Sign up for Courtesy Pay. Instead of declining or returning an item for insufficient funds, we may, at our option, pay for transactions up to a total of $800 when there isn't enough money in your account. There is a $30 charge for each item paid, which is the same fee you would pay if the item had been declined or returned. You must have an active account in good standing.

Interest On Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTA) are for attorneys and law firms that maintain escrow funds for multiple clients. This account has checking privileges for lawyers to disburse funds. There is no minimum amount required to open the account, minimum balance, or per-check fees.

An IOLTA Checking Account pools the funds into a single, interest-bearing account. The account allocates interest earned to the Massachusetts Bar Foundation, the Boston Bar Foundation, and the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation for charitable purposes.
