Explore your overdraft protection options:

If you have any questions about overdraft protection, visit a branch or call (760) 243-2140.

¹To be a "qualifying overdraft deposit" the deposit must be: (1) of funds with same-day availability under our funds availability disclosure; (2) in an amount set forth in one of the next two sentences; (3) made to the overdrawn account; and (4) if the deposit will include cash or check, made at any of our branches up to the daily closing time of the branch on that business day, or at a full-service ATM located on the premises of one of our branches by 6 p.m. PT. If items exceeding your available balance were paid, the qualifying overdraft deposit must be in an amount that, when all debits and credits to your account for that business day have been posted, results in your available balance being overdrawn by no more than $5.00. If items exceeding your available balance were returned, the qualifying overdraft deposit must be in an amount such that your account would have been overdrawn $5.00 or less after we finish the process of posting all debits and credits to your account on a business day if we had instead paid the item.  A deposit made after 6 p.m. PT on a business day or made on a day that is not a business day is deemed to be made on our next business day.

²Qualified deposit accounts are checking, savings, and money market accounts. (Not CDs, IRAs, or health savings accounts).




³Linked account means another account on which you are an owner, such as a savings, money market or checking account, which you requested we link to your checking account for overdraft protection purposes. If your linked account earns interest, you should decide whether the amount of overdraft charges and non-sufficient funds charges on your checking account you anticipate you will avoid under the linked account arrangement will be greater than the amount of interest you will forgo by having funds transferred from the linked account. You may request our Truth-in-Savings Disclosures for the type of account you propose to use as a linked account to obtain information regarding how interest is determined on the linked account and any minimum balance or other requirements to earn interest on the linked account. Regulation D limits the number of automatic withdrawals to six times per calendar month for savings and money market accounts. Excess withdrawals can cause additional fees and account closure.



⁴ODLOC amount varies by your credit score and other factors. Customers with a Desert Community Bank account relationship of 90 days or less are only eligible for up to $1,000.   See your current consumer overdraft line of credit account disclosure agreement for details and more information about the interest rate.

⁵Personal account Bounce Protection limits: Non-interest-bearing account = $500; Interest-bearing checking account = $1,000;

⁶Credit approval and income verification required. - Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for an ODLOC is 18%.

⁷We will pay the item only if your account is in good standing.  We will not pay items that would cause the overdraft in your account to exceed your Bounce Protection limit. Your account is in "good standing" for purposes of Bounce Protection if you (1) deposit enough money to bring your account to a positive balance (including the payment of all bank fees and charges) at least once every 30 consecutive days by the end of the business day and the balance must remain positive until the next business day; (2) avoid excessive overdrafts; and (3) have no legal orders, levies or liens against your account.  You should make every attempt to bring your account to a positive balance as soon as possible after an overdraft occurs. If we have not demanded immediate payment, you must bring your account to a positive balance (including the payment of all bank fees and charges) at least once every 30 consecutive days by the end of the business day and the balance must remain positive until the next business day. If you do not do so, we will notify you that your Bounce Protection has been suspended and that future Items exceeding your available balance will be returned unpaid. Unless we notify you otherwise or you request that Bounce Protection be removed from your account, Bounce Protection will be reinstated on your account on the first business day after you bring your account to a positive end-of-business-day balance and the balance remains positive until the next business day. If your balance has been negative in any amount for 34 consecutive days, on the first business day after that we will charge your account a consecutive days overdrawn fee in the amount of $6.00 if the balance of your account is negative more than $10 on that business day. We will continue to charge a consecutive days overdrawn fee in the amount of $6.00 on each business day that the balance of your account is negative more than $10 until you make a deposit that brings your balance to zero or a positive number, or until we close your account. The consecutive days overdrawn fee will be charged on a business day in addition to any other fees charged on that business day.

⁸Non-sufficient funds charges are assessed when we return items that would overdraw your account. This may occur, for example, if you do not have Bounce Protection on your account, you remove Bounce Protection from your account, or if you do not have a sufficient available balance in your account or in any linked account to pay items presented that exceed your available balance.

⁹We may assess more than one overdraft charge and more than one non-sufficient funds charge to your account each day, depending on the number of checks and other items presented on your account that day, subject to the small amounts exception and qualifying overdraft deposit exception.  However, we will not charge you more than five combined overdraft charges and non-sufficient funds charges per day.

¹⁰Covered items that can cause an overdraft include checks, in-person withdrawals, an ACH auto debit, Bill Pay, and Popmoney®, and recurring debit card transactions. Also, if you have requested us to do so, we may authorize and cover ATM transfers or withdrawals and everyday debit card purchases, subject to a $36 overdraft charge. We are not obligated to pay any item presented for payment that would cause your account to be overdrawn.

¹¹We automatically add Bounce Protection to new, personal, interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing checking or money market deposit accounts or qualifying business checking accounts, subject to the following conditions: (1) New Customers. For new Desert Community Bank deposit accountholders, Bounce Protection will not be activated on your account until you have satisfied the following two conditions: (i) the account to which Bounce Protection will be added must be open for at least 60 days, and (ii) you must make a deposit or deposits in your account in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the Bounce Protection limit applicable to your account. (2) Existing Customers with a new account. For existing Desert Community Bank deposit accountholders, Bounce Protection will not be activated on your account until you have made a deposit or deposits in your account in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than the Bounce Protection limit applicable to your account type. (3) Existing Customers with an existing account. For existing Desert Community Bank deposit accountholders who do not have Bounce Protection on accounts that have been open for at least 60 days, we will add Bounce Protection to the account at your request so long as the account is in "good standing."

¹²You may instruct us whether you want us to transfer from any linked account(s) or overdraft line of credit in a certain order. Otherwise, we will transfer from a linked account or overdraft line of credit in the order it was associated with your account.
