This provision creates a unilateral enrollment and cancellation right for any individual co-owner on joint accounts, which means one co-owner can modify the overdraft protection status of a shared account without the knowledge or agreement of other co-owners. Chase also reserves the right to cancel Overdraft Protection at any time.
Interpretive note: The enforceability and consumer protection implications of the unilateral co-owner cancellation right may vary depending on applicable state joint account law and CFPB supervisory guidance on joint account servicing practices.
Under this clause, on joint deposit accounts, any single owner may enroll or cancel Overdraft Protection without the consent of other account owners. Chase additionally reserves the right to cancel Overdraft Protection at any time, which the terms do not condition on notice to the account holder.

"Any owner of both a qualifying checking account and the backup account may enroll in Overdraft Protection without the consent of other owners and both accounts must share at least one owner to maintain Overdraft Protection. Any owner of the checking account or the backup account may cancel Overdraft Protection (by terminating the service or closing the account) without the consent of other owners. We may cancel your Overdraft Protection service at any time.Excerpt from Chase's Fee Schedule
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Joint account overdraft service enrollment and cancellation provisions are subject to general deposit account law and any applicable state law governing joint account ownership rights. The CFPB has oversight of unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in deposit account servicing. No specific federal regulation directly governs the co-owner consent framework for overdraft service enrollment beyond general account agreement principles. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision that any co-owner may cancel Overdraft Protection without the consent of other co-owners could create operational exposure in shared household or business-linked accounts where account owners have different preferences for overdraft coverage. Chase's unilateral cancellation right without a specified notice requirement creates additional uncertainty for account holders relying on the service. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: State law governing joint account ownership rights may vary. In some jurisdictions, unilateral modification of account features by one joint owner without notice to others may raise consumer protection considerations. Compliance teams should assess whether any state-specific joint account regulations impose additional consent or notice requirements. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The provision that a backup savings account can provide Overdraft Protection for more than one checking account, but that a checking account can have only one backup account, creates a one-to-many relationship that should be reflected accurately in account management systems and customer disclosures. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate whether the Chase-initiated cancellation right is accompanied by adequate consumer notification practices and whether the absence of a specified notice period for Chase-initiated cancellations satisfies applicable consumer protection standards. Customer service procedures should account for scenarios where one co-owner cancels Overdraft Protection and another co-owner was unaware of the change.
