1 A qualifying direct deposit is defined as a recurring electronic deposit into checking account of payroll, pension, Social Security, government benefits, or other eligible regular monthly income made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network.

2 When we agree to pay an item that overdraws your checking account, we will charge you a Courtesy Pay Fee. We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do
not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.

3 When we return an item unpaid that overdraws your account, we will charge you an NSF Fee.

4 We will limit the combined number of Courtesy Pay and NSF Fees charged on any one calendar day to 5.

Once you have overdrawn your account you will need to bring the account to a positive balance as soon as possible. Citadel will close and charge off overdrawn
member deposit accounts that have had a negative balance for more than 60 days. When making the decision to pay or return an item and charge a fee, we treat each
original presentment and representment as an individual transaction. See the General Terms Applicable to All Accounts in the Membership Agreements and
Disclosures for details on how we process overdraft items.
