What are my options once an account has reached its
Regulation D limit?
You may complete withdrawals and transfers in person, by mail, or at
an ATM.
If an account used for Overdraft Protection has reached
its Regulation D limit, will overdraft requests be honored?
No, if the Overdraft Protection account is a Savings Account or MMA.
In that case, you will receive a notice by mail and incur an
Insufficient Funds change for every overdraft attempted beyond your
monthly limit. However, if the Overdraft Protection account is a
Line-Of-Credit loan (which is not affected by Regulation D) the
overdraft will complete normally. To apply for a Line-of Credit
loan, apply

I have authorized a merchant to automatically withdraw
payments from my Savings Account or MMA; do these count against my
monthly limit?
Yes. These payments (which you might know as "ACH" or "EFT"
transactions) follow Regulation D limitations. Any withdrawals
attempted beyond your monthly limit will not be honored, and you
will receive a notice by mail and incur an Insufficient Funds
change. To avoid this situation, make automatic payments using
something other than a Savings Account or MMA, such as a checking
account. Contact the merchant to arrange this change, and be aware
that your request could take more than a month to go into effect.
Alternatively, consider using WSSC FCU Bill Pay to automatically
send payments to the merchant, rather than authorizing the merchant
to automatically withdraw payments.
