Overdraft Protection and Courtesy Pay

At HFS Federal Credit Union, we offer two types of services to our members if ever an overdraft occurs called Overdraft Protection and Courtesy Pay. Both Overdraft Protection and Courtesy Pay are designed to help prevent members from having a transaction rejected due to non-sufficient funds. Both services are optional and members do not need to have one in order to have the other.*
