We do typically warn our member owners that while we might be in a position to accommodate items that overdraw an account, it doesn't mean we always will, and we should not be depended on to do so.
Out of curiosity, when you say that you are more likely to cover a bounced check from someone who holds a mortgage with the CU, what is the reason? Is it because they are a steady customer and worthy of the banks trust or is there someway that a bounced check can be rolled into the mortgage debt?
Also, I am surprised that a person actually looks at a bounced check and considers the person who bounced it. I just assumed that it was a fully automated process, either the account can cover the check or it can't. Is that a CU move or do all banks do that?
