Important Change to Your Credit Union Debit Card

Beginning Sunday, Aug. 15, the Genesis Employees’ Credit Union will no longer pay your overdrafts for ATM and everyday debit card transactions unless you tell us you want overdraft coverage for these transactions. Today, if you do not have enough money in your account for approval of a debit card purchase or ATM withdrawal, we may still authorize and pay your overdraft. However, if you do not consent to overdraft coverage for your ATM/debit card before Aug. 15, your purchase or withdrawal request will be declined if your account does not have the funds to cover it.

Our overdraft program does not guarantee we will cover your overdrafts, but if we do, you will be charged our standard fee of $25 for each overdraft. As long as you keep your account in good standing by continuing to make consistent deposits, bringing your account to a positive balance at least every 30 days, and remaining current on your loans, etc., then we may pay your overdraft item up to $300.

Currently, we authorize and pay checks, automatic debits, electronic transfers, ATM withdrawals and debit card purchases. After Aug. 15 we will no longer authorize and pay overdrafts for ATM withdrawals and everyday debit card purchases unless you consent by either:

•Calling us at 454-4603 (Genesis-Bethesda office) or 454-5961(Genesis-Good Samaritan office)
•Completing an opt-in form with one of our representatives at either office
•Completing the opt-in form online at genesisecu.com

If you like the added protection of overdraft coverage you currently have on your debit card and want to avoid the embarrassment of having a debit card purchase declined in the future, contact us by before Aug. 15 to be sure your coverage is not interrupted.
