Occasional Overdraft Privilege Service (OOPS)
With our busy lives, it’s easy to make mistakes such as forgetting to deposit a check, make a transfer, or deduct your last debit charge from your balance. A simple error or balance miscalculation can lead to an unexpected shortage of funds.
Home State Bank may have the solution you’re looking for with our Occasional Overdraft Privilege Service. Occasional Overdraft Privilege Service is not a line of credit and is not a right or obligation guaranteed to you. This is a discretionary program that can be changed or withdrawn at any time without notice. Our standard overdraft practice is to strive to pay your overdrafts when your account meets certain discretionary criteria. If you inadvertently overdraw your account, we will have the discretion to pay the overdraft, subject to the Occasional Overdraft Privilege Service. View our Overdraft Coverage Disclosure.
Home State Bank will not pay overdrafts for ATM or everyday debit card transactions unless you have given your consent by opting in to the payment of these overdrafts. Here's more information about opting in to extend your Occasional Overdraft Privilege Service coverage.
