Overdraft Protection services apply to all transactions and may help prevent overdrafts by automatically transferring funds to your checking account from your

savings account. You can set up an Overdraft Protection Plan at the time of opening your checking account (or at any time).


Overdraft Privilege allows you to overdraw your checking account up to a disclosed limit (includes a fee for each transaction). Even if you have Overdraft

Protection, Overdraft Privilege is still available as a secondary coverage. You can set up Overdraft Privilege at the time of account opening (or at any time).

Accounts will be charged the standard Overdraft fee of $28 for handling each overdraft created by check, ACH, Point-of-Sale, ATM withdrawal, in-person

withdrawal, or other electronic item that is paid, and $28 for items returned. An overdrawn balance must be repaid within 32 days. We may not pay for items under

the Overdraft Privilege if you do not maintain your account in good standing by bringing your account to a positive balance within every thirty-two (32) day

period for a minimum of one business day, if you default on any loan or other obligation with Post Office Employees’ Credit Union (POECU) or if your account is

subject to any legal or administrative order or levy.


Due to our updated policies, you will no longer be able to rent a car or participate in Internet gambling using your POECU Mastercard debit card.

Effective 10/2/2023,

POECU will require members who are using CASH APP to change their payment method. 

POECU Members will no longer be allowed to use a debit card to perform CASH APP transactions. 

Members will now be required to input POECU’s routing number (265076028) along with their account number for the CASH APP transaction to process.

 

This change is necessary to minimize the amount of fraud occurring when using this app. 

This safeguards both the member and POECU.

 

Funds for CASH APP transactions will be settled the following business day.
