Utilizing Coast Alerts to help avoid charges or penalties.

Alerts are an important way to help you manage your finances responsibly and avoid unnecessary fees

If a transaction overdraws your account and/or exceeds your credit limit, several fees can occur:

  • Accumulating negative interest charges when a balance falls below zero or exceeds credit limit, plus
  • An additional payment processing charge per item that overdraws an account and/or exceeds credit limit, and
  • A non-sufficient funds (NSF) charge per returned cheque and/or pre-authorized payment

Log into your digital banking or contact us at 1.888.517.7000 to check on the status of your account balance.

  1. If you have a positive available balance, you can avoid unnecessary charges or fees by ensuring all anticipated debits will be covered by the funds available in your account and/or credit limit. Consider making a deposit if anticipated debits exceed the balance available in your account and/or credit limit. Please be aware, cheques deposited are subject to our Hold Funds Policy which may impact the availability of funds.  All deposits are subject to verification of the source of funds and to our policies on the acceptance of deposits.
  2. If you have a negative available balance, you may avoid interest charges causing the account to be overdrawn further if a deposit is made, bringing the account balance to zero/or within your credit limit, on the same day before close of business. Please be aware, cheques deposited are subject to our Hold Funds Policy which may impact the availability of funds. All deposits are subject to verification of the source of funds and to our policies on the acceptance of deposits.

To avoid further charges and for additional support, contact us at 1.888.517.7000 to schedule a Money Chat with one of our team of experts to find the right solutions for you and your goals.
