A personal line of credit helps you cover unexpected expenses when life happens. You have access to funds when you need them with no annual fees or transfer fees. A personal line of credit is tied to your checking account or money market and may provide NSF and overdraft protection.*

- Debt consolidation
- No annual fee
- No transfer fee
NSF and Overdraft Protection
Your line of credit will be linked to your checking or money market account. If on any day the available balance in your account is not sufficient to cover checks and other items posted to your account (including returned items, electronic funds transfers (EFTs), Online or Mobile Banking transfers, ACH transfers, ATM withdrawals, and point of sale (POS) or other ATM or debit card transactions), we may make an advance under your linked line of credit to pay such items. Transfers from the linked line of credit may help you avoid paying NSF Fees. For more information, refer to the Account Agreements (PDF).
How to Access Line of Credit Funds
- Access funds from Online Banking, the mobile app or by phone.
- Automatic line of credit transfers for the purpose of NSF and overdraft protection will be made in $100 increments (or the unused portion of the available credit limit if less than $100).
Interest charges accrue from the date of the credit advance or transfer.
