• Overdraft Privilege

  FMFCU is pleased to provide Overdraft Privilege (ODP) to help better manage your checking account.   Overdraft Privilege (ODP) is a discretionary service provided to eligible members. It is designed to provide a safety net and peace of mind when unexpected emergencies arise. For the cost of a transaction fee, save the expense and embarrassment of having items returned and the additional fees that merchants may charge.
