**Advantage Overdraft protection up to $300 is available except on Teen Checking. An Overdraft Charge per item of $35.00 will be assessed for each withdrawal that is paid into the overdraft by check, in-person withdrawal, ACH withdrawal, or other electronic means (only includes ATM and debit card withdrawals if you give us your consent), which may result in multiple Overdraft Charges on the same day. A $20.00 Consumer Negative Balance Fee will be assessed any statement period in which your account is overdrawn. Prosperity Bank reserves the right not to pay an overdraft item if an account is not in good standing, if regular deposits are not made, or if repeated overdrafts occur. Advantage Overdraft is intended for inadvertent overdrafts and should not be used as a replacement for credit. Overdrafts should be paid promptly. Other services that may be less expensive than Advantage Overdraft include a Readi-Cash Overdraft Line of Credit (subject to approval and interest charges) and Overdraft Transfer from another Prosperity Bank checking, savings, or money market account ($10.00 per transfer fee applies). View Overdraft Protection for more information about the Advantage Overdraft, Readi-Cash Overdraft Line of Credit, and Overdraft Transfer services.
