About Overdrafts
OVERDRAFTS am not good for you orthe bank. Thereare
plenty of reasons why you should not overdraw your account.
You have no right to do business that way. It hurls your
credit with your banker. An overdraft is in fact a forced loan
without security. Your overdraft may sometimes be honored
but it gets you in bad all over. Our bank tries to be accomo
dating but we do not desire overdrafts unsecured Joans that
ruin your credit, injure your own standing and endanger the
interests of our depositors. Don't overdraw.
WE HAVE AN INTEREST IN YOU.
