3***. Overdraft Protection ("ODP") is an optional service made available to eligible CARD Premium Bank Account by Pathward Customers. Once you enroll and meet the eligibility requirements, you will be charged $15.00 for each transaction that overdraws your account by more than $10.00, up to a maximum of four (4) fees per calendar month. To avoid that fee, you have twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the first transaction that creates the overdraft to bring your Account back to a zero ($0.00) or a positive balance. Transactions subject to an overdraft fee are signature and PIN purchase transactions. ATM transactions and ACH Debit transactions are not eligible for coverage. Any negative balance must be repaid within thirty (30) days. Whether we authorize an overdraft is discretionary, and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically will not pay overdrafts if you fail to meet the eligibility requirements for this service or you attempt too many transactions or transactions that create too large of an overdraft. Contact Customer Service at (844) 227-3602 or log in to your Online Account Center for additional terms and conditions that apply, including initial and ongoing eligibility requirements for the service. This service may be expensive, so we encourage you to research alternatives before enrolling. Once enrolled, you may opt-out at any time; however, you are responsible to repay any overdrawn amounts on your account even if you opt-out of the service.

I really hate when someone attempts to keep my money from me using it when I want. A message saying my card is restricted from use. If I have any questions, contact customer service. Who on earth will not have questions when the deposited $300 on the card and can not use it? Is the real question. Then who can actually talk and listen as in a real live person. Is this company ran by a 1 person team? How dare you to pretend you have power over my money. I will get my money back from you and that will be the last of me being a part of your client base. But you just might hear from me again.
