Overdraft Privilege

Overdraft Privilege (ODP) is a courtesy service provided to qualifying customers. With Overdraft Privilege, First State Bank will pay your insufficient funds (NSF) checks, ACH, and Debit Card transactions up to a pre-approved limit as long as your account remains in good standing.

If you choose to use Overdraft Privilege there is no monthly fee. However, you will be charged the normal per item NSF/Overdraft handling fee as set forth in your account's Terms and Conditions--the same as if we returned your check or transaction unpaid. Your Available Balance will always be shown without the funds available with Overdraft Privilege.

You will be notified by mail or electronically of any NSF/Overdraft item(s) we have paid or returned; however, we have no obligation to notify you before we pay or return any item(s). This service will save you time and the additional fees charged by many companies when a check is returned for insufficient funds. ODP is available at the bank's discretion up to $750.00 on all consumer transaction accounts. Please refer to the Fee Schedule for normal charges.

Debit Card

The First State Bank debit card offers a fast, convenient, and secure way to make purchases and access your funds. Use it anywhere VISA® is accepted to pay directly from your checking account. It also works at ATMs for withdrawals and transfers. Save time, skip check printing fees, and enjoy nationwide acceptance with one simple card.

If your check debit card is lost or stolen, contact the bank immediately. If you are calling after regular banking hours to report a lost or stolen card, call tel:1-800-791-2525As an added safeguard, we provide a cap on your liability if your card is lost or stolen. Contact us for details, and a disclosure.
