Mistakes happen, and we can provide you with peace of mind in those instances. Univest provides the convenience of an overdraft protection service for personal checking account customers. We currently cover the following transactions even if you do not have sufficient funds in your account:
- Checks
- Automatic bill payments
- Online banking payments and transfers
- Recurring debit card transactions
The overdraft protection service can also cover ATM and everyday debit card transactions. If you are a Univest customer and would like ATM and debit card purchases to be covered by our overdraft protection service simply notify us and indicate you would like to be opted in. Otherwise we can not cover these types of transactions for you and you are opted out. There is no right or wrong choice. You should choose what best suits your individual financial needs.
There are three easy ways to opt in:

If you opt in:
- We may cover your ATM and everyday debit card transactions even if your account balance is insufficient
- We may also provide access to funds in advance of a deposit becoming available later the same business day.
- Opting in could save you the embarrassment of having your debit card declined.
- You will only pay a fee if we approve a transaction that overdraws your account.
If you opt out:
- You do NOT want us to cover your everyday debit card and ATM transactions when there are insufficient funds in your account.
- You will not be charged any overdraft fees for ATM and debit card transactions and your transaction will be declined if your balance is insufficient.
- Checks, automatic bill payments, online banking payments and recurring debit card transactions may continue to be covered at our discretion regardless of your account balance. Standard fees still apply.
There are fees associated with the overdraft protection service if we approve a transaction that overdraws your account. The fees are as follows:
