 Instant Cash & Check Card News

 

On August 15, 2010, a new federal regulation becomes effective that changes how banks handle Instant Cash & Check Card transactions that overdraw accounts of existing customers.  (New customers are affected by this change on July 1) 

 

With few exceptions, State Bank of Park Rapids has always declined ATM and debit card transactions when an account does not have sufficient funds to cover the withdrawal at the time of the transaction.  This procedure will not change when the new regulation goes into effect, therefore you will not be asked to "opt in" or "opt out" of an overdraft service for ATM or debit card transactions.   

 

If you have any questions regarding this new federal regulation please stop by or call our bookkeeping department at 218-732-3366 ext 128.
