Important details to note about Bellco's Debit Card Coverage

We will charge a fee of up to $28 each time we pay an overdraft created by check, everyday debit card transactions, other transactions made using your checking account number and automatic bill payments. We will not charge a fee if the transaction is less than $25.

Once an overdraft has occurred, you are obligated to bring your account to a positive balance within 14 days.

We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transactions. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined. Bellco typically does not pay overdrafts if your account in not in good standing, you are not making regular deposits, or you have had excessive overdrafts.
