These fees will apply to any transaction created by check, in-person withdrawal, ATM withdrawal or other electronic means that may overdraw your account. The amount of any overdrafts plus our non-sufficient funds and/or overdraft charge(s) that you owe us shall be payable upon demand. We are not obligated to pay any item presented for payment if your account does not contain sufficient collected funds.
