Courtesy Pay

Courtesy Pay adds a measure of protection to Farmers & Merchants Bank checking accounts. Thanks to Courtesy Pay, the expense and embarrassment of returned checks or overdrawing your account balance because you miscalculated are things of the past.

This is How Courtesy Pay Can Benefit You!

Gives you peace of mind - You never have to worry that an item will be returned unpaid. Courtesy Pay covers inadvertent overdrafts, saves embarrassment of checks being returned to merchants, saves non-sufficient funds fees from merchants and late charge fees on bills. Your checks, ACH debits, and Bill Payer payments will be paid up to $400, even if the funds are not available.
Saves you money - Merchants charge $30, $35 or more when your check or ACH debit is returned for insufficient funds, also leaving your account subject to a $29 non-sufficient funds fee. With Courtesy Pay, we only charge one $32 fee and the merchant is paid in full.
Protects your credit - Because your item has been paid, merchants do not have a reason to turn you over to a collection agency, charge a late fee, or prevent you from writing checks in the future. Courtesy Pay preserves your credit and good standing with merchants.

How Does Courtesy Pay Work?

Courtesy Pay is a non-contractual courtesy that requires no action on your part. You do not have to sign any agreements and your current overdraft protection arrangements will remain in place exactly as they are now. Courtesy pay will only be activated if there are insufficient funds in your account(s). Most transactions that overdraw your personal checking will be covered up to the $400.00 overdraft limit. Instead of a non-sufficient funds fee, a courtesy-pay fee of $32.00 will be deducted from your checking balance for each overdraft occurrence that Courtesy Pay honors. Once your Courtesy Pay service has been activated, it is your responsibility to correct any balance deficiency as quickly as possible. This is not a loan. This is a non-contractual courtesy, which can be withdrawn at any time by the Bank.

Overdraft Protection

If a debit occurs and the account balance is insufficient to cover it, funds are then transferred from a previously designated account to pay the item. You can sign up to have your funds transferred from another checking account, savings account, or line of credit.

Direct Deposit

Safe, Simple, Smart.

Instantly receive your paycheck, social security, pension or other earnings directly into your account.
Payments reach your account the day the check is issued, even if you are out of town, sick or unable to get to your bank.
It can save you trips to the bank and waiting in long lines.
Your money is available for use as soon as it is deposited into your account. You can write checks, pay bills, withdrawal money or put some into savings.
Direct Deposit can help you avoid bouncing checks because your deposit is direct and on time.
The federal government and many employers will deposit your check a day early if the regular payday falls on a holiday.
Direct Deposit is confidential. Money is transferred electronically and passes through fewer hands than a check.
Direct deposit puts you in charge of your money. Financial planners recommend Direct Deposit as one step towards control of your finances.
Employers will issue a payment summary of every deposit that will look much like your paycheck. It will show you deductions for taxes, insurance, and other obligations, and will reflect the balance that was deposited into your account.

Free and easy to sign up, simply provide employer/payer with your account number.
