What it is

The document establishes a $34 overdraft fee per transaction for transactions that overdraw an account by more than $50 during nightly processing, with a maximum of three fees per business day ($102). Chase Overdraft Assist, which requires no enrollment, eliminates the fee if the account is brought to overdrawn by $50 or less by the end of the same or next business day by 11 p.m. ET.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision defines the primary fee trigger and waiver mechanism for overdraft charges across eligible Chase personal checking accounts. The $50 threshold and next-business-day cure window are operationally significant conditions that determine whether a $34 fee applies to any given overdraft transaction.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision establishes that overdraft fees of $34 per transaction apply to transactions exceeding a $50 overdraft threshold, with a same-day or next-business-day deposit window available to eliminate the fee without requiring enrollment in any additional service. Consumers using Chase Secure Checking or Chase First Checking are not eligible for Standard Overdraft Practice or related services.
