How does Instant BackUp™ Line of Credit work?
If you have an unexpected shortage of funds in your Patelco checking account, your overdraft line of credit takes over to cover you.
Once you sign up for this convenient feature, we will process your transactions on your Patelco Checking account, even if they dip your balance below $0.00. Instead of paying an overdraft fee, you’ll pay interest only on the amount you borrowed for the amount of time it’s outstanding.
