Download this free guide to get started with step-by-step support and ease!

Account Protection Services

We know life happens. That’s why we provide overdraft options to help you avoid interruptions if you don’t have the necessary funds in your account. 

Instead of going negative in your checking account, Overdraft Protection allows you to cover your transaction with funds from your CCCU saving account, money market or checking line of credit. Get up to 6 free automatic transfers each month. Call us at (651) 225-2700 to have overdraft transfers set up on your account.

Apply for an overdraft line of credit and avoid costly overdraft fees. In the event there isn't enough money in your checking account, your line of credit will automatically advance to cover overdrafts.

Courtesy Pay Coverage allows transactions to process even when funds are not available in your checking account - up to a certain limit. This means if you are trying to make a payment out of your checking account, but do not have enough funds, City & County will allow the transaction to go through for a standard overdraft fee of $35. Courtesy Pay Coverage must be selected at account opening.

If you already have a CCCU Checking account, call us at (651) 225-2700 to verify the Courtesy Pay Coverage status on your account.

"Opening a City & County Credit Union account has allowed me to feel financially independent, while also allowing me to feel like I'm supporting my community by having an account. I opened my CCCU checking and savings account after starting my first job outside of college. Since then, I've learned about healthy spending & HSAs and was even able to open a HSA account with CCCU. The customer service at CCCU is great and they're always open to answer any of my questions about my accounts!"
