Account Disclosure Information
Overdraft Protection
Your checking account comes with a preset overdraft limit, which is available on most personal checking accounts between 30 and 120 days from when overdraft coverage is requested, subject to approval. Generally, you must not have more than two insufficient funds items presented for payment and your account must not be overdrawn more than two consecutive days in the first 30 days after you request overdraft coverage to be approved.
Once approved for overdraft coverage, we will pay—at our sole discretion—checks and other items that cause your ledger balance to go into a negative balance up to the amount of your overdraft limit. Unless you specifically decline overdraft coverage, or request SafetyLink, or opt into Extended Overdraft Coverage, your account will default to Basic Overdraft Coverage.
Please note that Bright Solutions has no overdraft coverage and therefore checks and other items that overdraw your account may be returned; however, unlike other account types, Arvest will not charge a fee.
Basic Overdraft Coverage covers these type of items:
- Checks you write and checks initiated by BillPay online or via our mobile application
- ACH electronic payments for bills automatically deducted from your account
- Recurring debit card transactions, such as a monthly membership or subscription
Basic Overdraft Coverage does not cover everyday (one-time) debit card transactions or ATM transactions. We will usually decline these transactions at the point of sale or at the ATM if the transaction will exceed your available balance at the time the transaction is initiated. If we do pay such transactions, we will not charge you an overdraft fee. However, we will charge a $17 fee for other types of items (for instance, checks) presented and paid into the negative.
Extended Overdraft Coverage covers these type of items:
- All of the items included in Basic Overdraft Coverage
- Everyday debit card transactions
- Cash withdrawals from ATMs
- One-time online debit card transactions such as utilities, online shopping and reservations
If you have selected Extended Overdraft Coverage, we will authorize ATM transactions or everyday debit card transactions even if the transaction exceeds your available balance at the time the transaction is initiated, at our discretion and up to the available overdraft limit remaining for your account. However, such a transaction may generate a fee when the balance in your account after we post all credits and debits for the day is less than the amount we need to pay a transaction. If checks or other items clearing your account would cause a negative balance, you will be assessed a $17 fee for each item presented for payment and paid into the negative.
Insufficient Funds: If we return a check or other item unpaid at our discretion or because it would cause a negative ledger balance on your account in excess of your overdraft limit (if any), we will not charge you a fee. However, the merchant may charge you fees.
Must bring account positive: If you select our overdraft coverage program, you should understand that you are still responsible for bringing your account to a positive balance. If your account maintains a negative ledger balance at the end of the nightly posting process each business day for 35 consecutive days, we may remove your overdraft coverage. If your account maintains a negative ledger balance at the end of the nightly posting process each business day for 56 days, we may close your account.
Decline Overdraft Coverage
You may determine that you do not want any overdraft coverage at all. If you are concerned about managing your account with the overdraft options previously described, we can remove all coverage. When you decline overdraft coverage, checks and other items presented for payment from your checking account that would cause a negative ledger balance may be returned. We will not charge you for items that we return unpaid. Among many other things, this could include a recurring transaction on your debit card. We will also decline everyday debit card transactions and ATM transactions that would exceed your available balance at the time the transaction is initiated.
The order in which items are posted to your account depends on when the items are presented to the bank for payment. This is important if there is not enough money in your account to pay for all of the transactions presented to the bank. This can affect the number of transactions either paid into overdraft or returned unpaid, as well as the amount of fees you may have to pay.
SafetyLink
SafetyLink Transfer Service is available for all personal checking account products except Bright Solutions™. Eligible funding accounts include Money Market and Savings Accounts. SafetyLink transfers are limited to 6 transfers per month. Certain transactions conducted on your funding account will reduce the available number of SafetyLink transfers available to you during that month (i.e., statement cycle). When funds are not available or you have reached your transfer limit, checks and other items clearing your account will be subject to a $17 fee if it results in an overdraft. Review the SafetyLink Transfer Plan Agreement for complete details.
Additional Information
For a complete discussion of overdraft issues, refer to Deposit Account Agreement & Disclosure and the Overdraft Coverage Options document.

Day-to-Day Spending
Your checking account is where you'll keep your spending money until you're ready to use it for regular expenses. This may include expenses like groceries, electricity, your rent or mortgage, and/or car payment.
Deposit money and then spend it in ways that are easiest for you. Keep track of your deposits and withdrawals by watching your account statements through online or mobile banking.
Savings Accounts can Help You Prepare for The Future
Your savings account is where you set aside money for the future. Whether you're thinking of saving for a down payment on a house, car or new appliance - it's a safe and convenient way to save and earn interest. When choosing a savings account, you'll want to consider a few things:
- Interest rate - Savings accounts generally earn interest based on how much money you have in the savings account.
- Minimum balance - Most savings accounts require a minimum deposit to open an account and may ask that you maintain a minimum balance to avoid a monthly fee.
- Withdrawal limitations - Know how many withdrawals you can make without incurring fees.
An Arvest Savings Account makes a great companion to an Arvest Checking Account. Learn more and apply for a Savings Account.
