Overdraft Protection Agreement

Print Close Window
The undersigned (sometimes referred to as "you" or "your"), jointly and severally, apply to the Ascencia (sometimes referred to as "we" or "us") for a line of credit known as Overdraft Protection. Once your application has been approved, your Overdraft Protection will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1. The Bank shall establish a line of credit for the undersigned, the unpaid balance of which shall not exceed the "Overdraft Protection" (the credit limit set by the Bank). Loans hereunder shall be made by credit to the undersigned's checking account maintained at the Bank either (a) automatically in multiples of $50, from time to time as necessary to maintain a credit balance in said checking account: or (b) at the written request of the undersigned, in any amount (in multiples of $50.00) up to the then unused portion of the cash reserve as requested. Any checks or other charges presented for payment against said checking account in excess of the balance thereof shall be processed following the bank's normal insufficient funds procedures.
2. The undersigned, jointly and severally, promise to pay the Bank, within ten (10) days after each statement date (the "Payment Due Date"), a minimum periodic payment of 5%, of the account balance, or $25.00 whichever is greater. The undersigned further agrees to pay a FINANCE CHARGE on all loans hereunder. The FINANCE CHARGE will begin to accrue on each loan on the day it is first posted to your account. The bank will automatically deduct the required minimum payment from the customer's primary checking account. If there are insufficient funds in the account to cover the payment, the payment will not be made. If such an event occurs the account holder may be subject to a late fee. (See Section 7) The bank is not obligated to advance the funds from the overdraft protection line. The bank will continue to try to collect the payment and will deduct the minimum payment once funds are available. Additionally, the bank at its sole discretion, may allow a loan advance to cover said payment. If such an event occurs advances will be made as stated in section 1 and be in multiples of $50.00.
3. All loans obtained through the use of Overdraft Protection and other charges or fees imposed in connection with the use of Overdraft Protection and any payments or other credits will be grouped and accounted for in consecutive monthly periods: each such period is a billing cycle. You will receive a statement for each billing cycle, and each statement shall be considered to be correct unless the Bank is notified to the contrary in writing within 60 days after receipt of the statement.
4. The FINANCE CHARGE on your account is figured by applying a daily periodic rate of .0004654% - 16.99% ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE - to the "average daily balance" of your account (including current transactions). To get the "average daily balance": we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new loans and subtract any payments or credits and unpaid FINANCE CHARGES. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balance for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance".
5. YOU MAY PAY THE UNPAID BALANCE OF YOUR ACCOUNT IN WHOLE OR IN PART AT ANY TIME. All payments shall be applied first to any outstanding late charges, then to unpaid finance charge, and then to reduce the account balance.
6. You will pay an annual fee of $25 for your account. This annual fee will be charged to the account on the day your account is opened. The month of the first posting is the "anniversary month." Thereafter, the annual fee will be charged on the anniversary month of each year.
7. You will pay a delinquency charge of $10 for each billing cycle that the required minimum payment was not made when due. The delinquency charge will be charged to the account of the 11th day following the due date.
8. No security interest in any property has been directly taken to secure your Overdraft Protections. However, collateral securing other loans with us may also secure your payment and performance under this Agreement, except that any prior interest you have granted us in your principal residence or household goods (as defined in 12 CFR 227.12 (d)) shall not secure your Overdraft Protection.
9. If any of the undersigned defaults in any obligation to the Bank hereunder or otherwise, or dies or becomes incompetent, or suffers an adverse change in financial conditions which the Bank deems material, or if the Bank, at any time deems itself insecure as to any debt incurred hereunder, the balance of the account then outstanding shall at the Bank's election, without notice of demand, become immediately due and payable.
10. The Bank reserves the right to amend this Agreement upon written notice to the undersigned. Any amendments which effect a change in the monthly FINANCE CHARGE shall apply to any loans thereafter made and to the unpaid balance of loans made prior to the effective date of the amendments.
11. The undersigned, jointly and severally, promise to pay all costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in the enforcement of the obligations hereunder and waive to the extent permitted by law all relief from valuation and appraisment laws.
12. The borrower hereby grants to lender a contractual possessory security interest in, and hereby assign, to convey, deliver, pledge, and transfer to the lender all my rights, title, and interest in and to, my accounts with lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts I may open in the future, excluding however all IRA accounts and all trust accounts for which the granting of a security interest would be prohibited by law. I authorize lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or set off all sums owing on this note against any and all such accounts, and at lenders option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow lender to protect lenders charge and set off rights provided in this paragraph.

If you think your bill is wrong, or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us at Ascencia; Access Reserve; 2500 Eastpoint Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky 40223-4156. Write to us as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the first bill on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not preserve your right. In your letter, give us the following information:

Your name and account number.
The dollar amount of the suspected error.
Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe that there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are not sure about.

Although you have authorized us to pay your Access Reserve account automatically from your checking account, you can stop the payment or any amount you think is wrong. To stop the payment your letter must reach us three business days before the automatic payment is scheduled to occur.

Your Rights and Our Responsibilities After We Receive Your Written Notice

We must acknowledge your letter within 30 days, unless we have corrected the error by then. Within 90 days, we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the bill was correct.

After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount you question, or report you as delinquent. We can continue to bill you for the amount you question, including finance charges, and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. You do not have to pay any questioned amount while we are investigating but you are still obligated to pay the parts of your bill that are not in question.

If we find that we made a mistake on your bill, you will not have to pay any finance charges related to any questioned amount. If we didn't make a mistake, you may have to pay finance charges, and you will have to makeup any missed payments on the questioned amount. In either case, we will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date that it is due.

If you fail to pay the amount that we think you owe, we may report you as delinquent. However, if our explanation does not satisfy you and you write to us within ten days telling us that you still refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you to that you have a question about your bill. And, we must tell you the name of anyone we reported you to. We must tell anyone we report you to that the matter has been settled between us when it finally is.

If we don't follow these rules, we can't collect the first $50.00 of the questioned amount, even if your bill was correct.
