Overdraft Protection

Add overdraft protection to your Alterna chequing account

Enjoy the peace of mind of knowing you’ll have access to extra funds when you need them. No longer worry about your account becoming overdrawn if you accidentally don’t have enough money in your account to clear outstanding cheques, pre-authorized debits and debit card transactions. Your overdraft protection will automatically come into effect to cover any shortfall up to your approved overdraft limit.
