1. For HiFlex Accounts, items and transactions that may overdraw your account will generally be declined and returned unpaid. There may be situations, however, in which items and transactions may be processed that will result in overdrafts. If your account is overdrawn, you are still responsible for the deficit, although HSFCU does not assess Overdraft or Returned Item Fees for HiFlex Accounts. Fees, however, may be charged by merchants or third parties for returned items and transactions. The merchant or third party might make multiple attempts to obtain payment through HiFlex Accounts, which may result in multiple fees from the merchant or third party. If an item or transaction is rejected, we suggest you refer to your transaction agreement and contact the merchant or third party. Overdraft services, such as the Overdraft Protection Program (Transfers) and linking a Line of Credit, are not available for HiFlex Accounts.
2. HiFlex Accounts are alternatives to traditional checking accounts. There is no check writing on HiFlex Accounts. We will reject checks on HiFlex Accounts and return them unpaid. If you provide routing and account numbers to others to make a transaction (purchase, payment or credit) on your HiFlex Account be sure that the other party will use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system to process the transaction, and that the transaction will be processed as an electronic debit or electronic credit. Otherwise, we will reject the transaction. HiFlex Accounts are not eligible for Bill Pay.
