Credit Union West eliminates non-sufficient funds fees and reduces overdraft fees
GLENDALE, AZ (November 4, 2022) — Credit Union West has announced plans to eliminate non-sufficient funds and overdraft transfer fees, while also reducing overdraft fees for transactions honored through their courtesy pay program.
Effective November 1, 2022, members with personal accounts at the credit union will no longer be charged a $35 fee for returned checks or a $5 overdraft transfer fee when funds are transferred from a savings account or line of credit to cover a deficit. Additionally, the $35 overdraft fee charged for items being paid on a courtesy basis will be reduced to $25.
“We view these changes as positive steps to improving the financial lives of our members and increasing the value we provide to the community,” said Karen Roch, Credit Union West’s President and CEO. “We have a lot of hardworking Arizonans who are all on their own financial journey to success. Our objective here is to clear the path for those most in need of support to accomplish their goals.”
