Important Changes to the Fifth Third Overdraft Policies Beginning June 27, 2012
Overdraft Policies
- There will no longer be a daily overdraft fee.
- Per item overdraft fees will be based on the number of overdraft occurrences in the past 12 months. For the first occurrence, you will be charged $25 per item. For each additional occurrence the cost will be $37 per item.
- We believe everyone should have protection from an occasional shortfall. That's why there is no per item overdraft fee when your account is overdrawn by $5.00 or less at the end of our business day.
- If you are enrolled in Overdraft Protection (where funds are automatically transferred from another one of your Fifth Third accounts to cover balance shortages), the charge will be $12 each time funds are transferred.
