URCovered is an overdraft service provided to members in good standing. It is used to pay items against a consumer checking account when the account balance is insufficient. URCovered is a complement to any overdraft protection you may already have in place and is accessed after any existing overdraft options have been exhausted. However, URCovered is not available for members with a FlexChecking account as that account is designed to not allow overdrafts.
URCovered is discretionary and is designed to cover non-sufficient funds (i.e., overdrafts/negative balances) that may result from:
- The payment or non-payment of checks
- ACH debits
- Funds deposited to your account that are not yet available
- Service charges and fees
- The return of unpaid items that are deposited into your account
Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between Overdraft Protection and URCovered?
A. Overdraft Protection uses money from Savings, Investment Plus, or a line of credit to cover transactions if there are insufficient funds
