1 As part of Bounce Protection Citizens Bank will automatically waive overdraft fees on transactions that are $5 or less. Bounce Protection is a special overdraft privilege provided on all personal checking accounts in good standing unless the customer has elected to waive this service. An overdraft fee of $35 will be charged for each item paid using Bounce Protection. This fee will be deducted from the Bounce Protection limit. Transactions that may be covered under the Bounce Protection program and cause a fee to be incurred include: overdrafts created by checks, in person withdrawals, ATM withdrawals, Debit Card transactions, telephone or Internet transactions or other electronic means. One time ATM and Debit Card transactions are not covered under Bounce Protection unless you specifically consent (opt-in) to have these transactions covered. You should make every attempt to bring your account into a positive balance within 15 days. If you are not able to do so, you will receive a letter from Citizens Bank informing you of the situation and your options. If after a period of time, your account has not been brought into a positive balance, we will have no option but to close your account and take other steps to recover funds. Whether your overdrafts will be paid is discretionary and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, or you are not making regular deposits, or you have too many overdrafts Some reasons for the return of an item include, but are not limited to: we suspect the item to be fraudulent or used to perpetrate fraud or other illegal activity; your outstanding loans or other obligations with us are in default, past due, or otherwise delinquent; we have been notified that you have declared bankruptcy; the item is not endorsed properly; or your account has remained overdrawn for a period of more than 15 days. Citizens Bank does not encourage overdrawing your account. SIGNIFICANT FEES MAY BE INCURRED
