- Pending Teller transactions

<Back to Questions>
Why does my Available Balance appear when I attempt a transfer between accounts?
The Available Balance is in the transfer field so you will have access to the same funds that you would if you wrote a check. Since Internet Banking balances are Real-Time, it is important to take into account all pending activity. Your Available Balance may be larger or smaller than your Account Balance depending on the features you have on your account and the amount of activity pending.

What happens if I transfer money in excess of my Account Balance?
A transfer cannot be completed if the transfer amount is greater than the Account Balance and funds are not available from a Credit Line, Overdraft Privilege, or a Minimum Balance Transfer.
If you transfer money in excess of your Account Balance and that money is...
- ...advanced from a Credit Line, that Credit Line will begin to accrue interest as stated in your contract.
- ...advanced from your Overdraft Privilege, your account may be charged an overdraft fee on items that will create the overdraft.
- ...advanced from another deposit account with Minimum Balance Transfer, the charge of $2.34 will be assessed on your statement.
