It is the policy of Peoples Trust & Savings
Bank to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and
to conduct business in accordance with applicable safety and
soundness standards.
The Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure provided to
you at the time you opened your account with us controls the
duties, obligations and rights of the Depositor, the
Authorized Signatories and Peoples Trust & Savings Bank
with regard to your checking account. The Deposit Account
Agreement (and all amendments thereto) and its terms shall
control any possible conflict, if any, between any provision
of this Discretionary Overdraft Privilege Policy and the
Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure. A copy of the
Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure is available to you
on request from your Peoples Trust & Savings Bank
officer.
Overdraft privilege is not a line of credit. However, if
you inadvertently overdraw your account, we will have the
discretion to pay the overdraft, subject to the limit of your
overdraft privilege and the amount of the overdraft fee.
Peoples Trust & Savings Bank is not obligated to pay any
item presented for payment if your account does not contain
sufficient available funds. Any discretionary payment by
Peoples Trust & Savings Bank of an overdraft check (or
items, such as ATM withdrawals) does not obligate Peoples
Trust & Savings Bank to pay any other overdraft check (or
item), or to provide prior notice of its decision to refuse
to pay such check (or item).
Pursuant to Peoples Trust & Savings Bank’s
commitment to always provide you with the best level of
service, now and in the future, if your consumer account
(primarily used for personal and household purposes) has been
open for at least thirty (30) days, or if your commercial
account has been open for at least sixty (60) days, and
thereafter you maintain your account in good standing, which
includes at least:
A)Bringing your account balance to a positive balance
within every thirty (30) day period for a minimum period of
24 hours;
B)Not being in default on any loan or other obligation to
Peoples Trust & Savings Bank and
C)Not being subject to any legal or administrative order
or levy
Peoples Trust & Savings Bank will have the discretion
to pay overdrafts within the overdraft privilege limits, but
payment by Peoples Trust & Savings Bank is a
discretionary courtesy and not a right of the customer or an
obligation of Peoples Trust & Savings Bank. This
privilege for consumer checking accounts will generally be
limited to a maximum of [$250/$500/$750] overdraft (negative)
balance. This privilege for commercial accounts will
generally be limited to a maximum of $1,000 overdraft
(negative) balance. Of course, any and all fees and charges,
including without limitation the non-sufficient funds fees
(as set forth in our fee schedules and deposit account
agreement and disclosure), will be included as part of this
maximum amount.
The total of the discretionary overdraft privilege
(negative) balance, including any and all fees and charges,
including all non-sufficient funds/overdraft fees is due and
payable upon demand, and Depositor and each Authorized
Signatory will continue to be liable, jointly and severally,
for all such amounts, as described in the Deposit Account
Agreement and Disclosure with a maximum repayment period of
30 days.
Again, while Peoples Trust & Savings Bank will have
the discretion to pay overdrafts on accounts in good standing
(as described above), any such payment is a discretionary
courtesy, and not a right of the customer or an obligation of
Peoples Trust & Savings Bank and Peoples Trust &
Savings Bank in its sole and absolute discretion, can cease
paying overdrafts at any time without prior notice of reason
or cause.
