Set up a transfer agreement with us for a variety of purposes. For example:

•     Make your loan payments automatically to prevent a missed payment.
•     Build your savings faster by making automatic deposits.
•     Prevent an overdraft by setting up an automatic transfer from another Countryside Bank account.

 Note: Savings and Cardinal Accounts have transactions limitations for automatic withdrawals.

Countryside Bank's Automatic Transfer Overdraft Protection program is designed to help protect you, our customer, from the inconvenience of an overdraft charge or merchant fees incurred when overdrawing your personal checking accounts.

This is ideal for customers who maintain balances in other checking or savings accounts with us.

Here's how it works:  You arrange funds to be automatically transfered, in increments of $100, from one checking or savings accounts with us into another personal checking account when it becomes overdrawn or meets a pre-selected target balance.  Please be aware that your transfers from savings or money market accouts have a transaction limitation per month.

If this is the program for you, please contact one of our Customer Service Representativies at the Syracuse branch at (402) 269-2100 or the Unadilla branch at (402) 828-3210 and they will be happy to assist you in setting up your Automatic Transfer Overdraft Protection program.  Once the program is in effect you may cancel at any time simply by contacting a Customer Service Representative at one of the numbers listed above.

Make deposits or payments by mail whenever you can't get to the bank.  For security purposes we do not recommend that you send cash in your bank by mail deposits.   Please write on the back of your checks "For Deposit Only", then your signature.
