Standard Overdraft Coverage

Regions Personal Banking

We understand that life is busy. From time to time, anyone can lose track of how much money is available in their checking or money market account.

Regions has services to help you when you need available funds: Regions Overdraft Protection and Standard Overdraft Coverage. Both services may be available to eligible accounts.

Standard Overdraft Coverage

Regions Standard Overdraft Coverage is a service we provide on many checking accounts that may cover transactions if you overdraw the available funds in your account. If we make Standard Overdraft Coverage available to you, we may pay your check, ACH and recurring debit card transactions even if you don’t have sufficient available balance in your account, which may result in an overdraft fee. If you opt in to Standard Overdraft Coverage for ATM and everyday CheckCard transactions, we may authorize and pay your ATM and nonrecurring debit card transactions into overdraft. Our Paid Overdraft Item (and Returned Item) fee is $36 and is subject to change.¹

If you decide you do not want Standard Overdraft Coverage for ATM and everyday CheckCard transactions, your CheckCard and ATM transactions will be declined when your available balance is insufficient to cover the transaction. This will not prevent all overdrafts — it means we will decline to authorize transactions at the point of sale or withdrawal if the money is not available at the time of the transaction.

Visit a Regions branch, call 1-800-REGIONS (1-800-734-4667) or log in to Regions Online Banking.

Paid Overdraft Item fee is $36 and is subject to change (fee for certain commercial accounts may be different). Fees may be imposed for any debit transaction that causes your account to be overdrawn, including by check, in-person or ATM withdrawal, CheckCard, or withdrawal/transfer by any other manual or electronic means. We reserve the right to require you to pay any overdraft immediately or upon demand. We also reserve the right not to pay overdrafts. We typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, you are not making regular deposits, or you have too many overdrafts. Standard overdraft coverage opt-in/opt-out options apply only to Regions personal banking customers. The Regions SafeGuard Checking account (currently available only in select markets) is subject to special terms and conditions regarding overdraft options, and those terms and conditions may differ from the information provided on this page and on pages that are linked to this page. SafeGuard Checking customers should refer to the terms and disclosures for the SafeGuard Checking account or talk to a Regions banker for information about overdraft options for SafeGuard Checking. Regions does NOT provide Standard Overdraft Coverage on the Now Checking account.
