What is an opening deposit?
An opening deposit is simply the first amount you add to your new account to get it started. For the SYB Bank On account, the minimum deposit is $25—but you can always deposit more more if you’d like.
-
Are there really no overdraft fees?
Yes, there are no overdraft fees! The SYB Bank On account is designed to help you avoid overdraft fees.2 Here’s how it works:
- No overdraft fees—ever. If a transaction would overdraw your account, we’ll simply return it unpaid without charging a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) or overdraft fee.
- Debit card transactions: If there aren’t enough funds at the time of authorization, the transaction will be declined. If a transaction is approved and causes your balance to go negative, we’ll cover it—but still won’t charge an NSF or overdraft fee.
- Your responsibility: If your account goes negative, you will need to bring it back to a positive balance as soon as possible. If the negative balance remains, we may need to close your account and report it to a collection or credit agency.
- No overdraft programs: This account isn’t eligible for Overdraft Privilege or Overdraft Protection, including for one-time debit card transactions.
-
How do I avoid the $7 monthly service charge?
We want to keep things simple!
- A monthly service fee of $7.00 applies to your account3
- Get a $2.00 credit each month by choosing electronic statements instead of paper3
- Get a $5.00 credit when at least one direct deposit or electronic payment (ACH) posts and settles during your monthly statement cycle3
Your total credits can't exceed the monthly service fee, but they can help reduce or even eliminate it!
-
Can I write checks?
No, check writing is not allowed with this account.
-
Is there a fee if I close my account?
No need to worry—you can close your account anytime without being charged a closure fee.4
