| Maximum Number of Overdraft Penalty and NSF Fees per Day | 6 | You will only be charged this number of overdraft penalty and NSF fees per day, even if we elect to cover additional overdrafts or return additional items. | |
| Minimum Amount Required to Trigger an Overdraft Penalty Fee | An overdraft item that causes the available balance on your account to be overdrawn by more than $1.00 will cause you to incur an overdraft penalty fee. | ||

An additional $23 Extended Overdraft Service Charge will be assessed for every seven consecutive calendar days that your account remains overdrawn by more than $1.00. A maximum of four Extended Overdraft Service Charges may be assessed per overdraft occurrence. You will not be assessed an Extended Overdraft Service Charge if the overdraft is solely attributable to ATM and everyday debit card transactions and you are opted out of our Courtesy Overdraft Option, meaning you do not want BBVA USA to authorize and pay overdrafts on these types of transactions. This Charge is in addition to any Insufficient Funds (NSF) fees you may incur as a result of items being presented against insufficient funds. | |
* An APR of 21% applies to the Overdraft Protection Line of Credit. Having an Overdraft Protection Line of Credit does not guarantee you against paying NSF fees; your line of credit may not be sufficient to cover all transactions. |
|||
| Processing Policies | ||
| Posting Order The order in which withdrawals and deposits are processed |
We process and post transactions — both credits (including deposits) and debits — throughout the day. This approach allows us to more closely match the posting of transactions on your account with the timing of your actual account activity. Note: Deposits received and posted late in the day will not cover payments and withdrawals posted earlier the same day. |
|
| Summary of Our Deposit Hold Policy This is a summary and generally applies when deposit amount is less than $5,000 – absent a deposit hold. See the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement, Funds Availability Disclosure, for a detailed description of our deposit hold policy. |
|
|
| Dispute Resolution | ||
| Dispute Resolution Agreement | If a dispute arises between us, either party may require that it be resolved through arbitration, rather than through jury trial. Please see the arbitration and waiver of jury trial provisions in your Consumer Deposit Account Agreement for additional details. | |
