Keep Your Account Protected
Opt in for overdraft privileges on your debit card
Ellafi Federal Credit Union's overdraft protection program is designed with your protection and convenience in mind. The vast majority of our members do not overdraw their accounts and never incur fees, however life doesn't always go according to plan, and overdrafts do occur. We offer many ways to protect your transactions. Without extending overdraft protection to your debit card, your ATM and everyday debit card transactions may be declined if you attempt to make a transaction without sufficient funds.
