Letters Mailed on Changes to Automatic Overdraft Service
You may have received a letter recently regarding Automatic Overdraft Protection on your account, a service that we call AOP. When you have utilized your debit card at a retailer, online or at an ATM, we have allowed you to access AOP, even when funds were not in your account. Now, in order for us to continue to allow you to access your AOP under these circumstances, you must tell us in advance that you want to authorize us to pay overdrafts for your everyday debit card and ATM transactions.
If you would like to provide your response to this letter now contact our Customer Care Center via email customercare@bankoftennessee.com or call us at (866) 378.9500

Certain criteria must be met for the Automatic Overdraft Program to be extended to you as a service. When you overdraw your account, a fee of per item will be assessed to your account. The types of transactions for which we may overdraw your account include checks, ACH debits, transfers, online banking transactions and if you opt-in, debit card/ATM withdrawals. Overdrawn balances are expected to be repaid with 30 days. Payment of overdrawn items is not guaranteed. We reserve the right to return any insufficient item at our sole discretion.
