Overdraft Information for Customers with Debit Cards

Courtesy Overdraft Service
We offer an overdraft service called Courtesy Overdraft Service with all of our accounts that offer an ATM/debit card. To enroll in the Courtesy Overdraft Service, stop by your nearest WSFS Branch, call us at 888.973.7226 or login into WSFS Online Banking and change your Courtesy Overdraft Service settings under the Customer Service menu. For more details, please see the What You Need to Know About Overdrafts and Overdraft Fees document.

Option A (default) – You do not enroll in Courtesy Overdraft Service:
Your account is set up to decline any ATM or one-time debit card transactions that may overdraw your account when you have insufficient funds. Since these transactions will be declined, you will not be charged the overdraft-paid fee. We may authorize and pay other transactions types for which you will be charged the overdraft-paid fee.

Option B – You do enroll in Courtesy Overdraft Service:
Your account is set up to allow any ATM or one-time debit card transactions to be paid when you do not have enough money available in your account. The overdraft fee will be charged for each item over $10 that we pay that creates an overdraft balance or increases the overdraft balance of more than $50; however, we will not charge more than three (3) overdraft fees in a single day. We reserve the right not to pay an overdraft at our discretion. You or we may discontinue Courtesy Overdraft Service at any time.

Processing Policies

Posting Order: (The order in which withdrawals and deposits are processed):
Transactions are generally processed at the end of each business day. We process deposits and most credits before debits. We will not use any order designed to increase the number of overdrafts and/or the amount of Overdraft Fees.
