  • You can set up automatic transfers from another account, such as a savings account or money market, to cover your overdraft.
  • You can set up automatic transfers from a line of credit or credit card to cover your overdraft.
  • Learn how Courtesy Pay could help cover an overdraft if you do not have an automatic transfer set up.

Yes!  Both of our checking accounts give you access to over 35,000 surcharge-free ATMs across the country. As an added bonus, our Benefits Checking account pays you up to $20 each month in surcharge reimbursements if you use an ATM that is not in our network.

Leaving The Country?

No problem. 

  • Simply give us a heads up before you leave by calling us at 800.442.2800 or stop by a local Honor branch so we know to expect transactions from your destination.
  • Beware of blocked and sanctioned countries.  The Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the US Department of Treasury has a current list of those countries. If the country you are visiting is on this list, ALL card activity will be blocked per the requirement from OFAC. On occasion, Honor Credit Union may block countries in addition to those listed on the OFAC list, but should there be additional countries, they would be listed here.
  • While debit and credit cards are accepted in most countries, MasterCard charges foreign currency conversion fees for purchases made with their credit and debit cards, in addition to ATM cash withdrawal fees.

No! Honor Credit Union doesn’t charge per-check fees for either checking account.
