We identify customers who have 5 NSF's in one day or 10 in the last 30 days.
We call them and counsel them by asking if they need help balancing their checkbook, explain sweeps by either a savings account or line of credit, etc.
We follow up the phone call with a letter. At that point, they have 10 business days to return the letter indicating they still want to have overdraft protection. If the letter is not returned, they are removed from our overdraft protection program. If they choose to remain in the program, their account must be kept in good standing.
These procedures were given to branch management by our compliance officer.
If we are unable to contact the customer by phone after 3 attempts, we forward the details to him.
