Any transaction over the initial 6 will be assessed a $10.00 fee per occurrence. The limit is reset monthly. Other transaction fees may also apply.
If transfers are coming out of a savings account, they count against the monthly Reg D limit.
Reg D is a federal law which limits the number of electronic transfers and withdrawals (6) that can be made per month from a non-transactional account, otherwise known as a savings accounts.
1. Open or use a checking account for any electronic transfer or withdrawals. Checking accounts are considered transactional accounts, so Reg D does not apply.
2. Set up alerts for low account balances within Digital Banking.
3. Check your account balances within Digital Banking.
4. Keep a higher balance in your checking account to avoid transfers from your savings account.
