We know, we're people too! That's why at Citizens, if you overdraw your account, we give you extra time to cover it and get your overdraft fee rebated.

Overdrafts. We've all been there.

Here's how Citizens Peace of Mind® makes it like they never happened.

Wednesday: The overdraft

You start the day with $50 in your account. You're excited about this weekend's dinner party and spend a little more than usual on groceries: $150. That's a $100 overdraft.

Thursday: Get to $0 or more

Your account is now overdrawn -$135 (an overdraft fee hit it this morning), so we give you a heads up via text or email. No worry: You transfer $100 from your other Citizens account - there's no need to cover the overdraft fee - and get on with your day. The transfer must occur before 10 p.m. ET.

Friday: Get the overdraft fee rebated

Nice work, you got your available balance back to $0 and covered your overdraft! We'll let you know with another alert that a Citizens Peace of Mind® rebate hit your account.

What does my deposit need to cover?

You don't need to cover the overdraft fee in your deposit amount — only the transactions that caused your overdraft, plus any new transactions that process the same day as your deposit (like a recurring car payment, for instance).

Which deposits or transfers qualify for a rebate?

Some deposits such as checks drawn on a bank other than Citizens, even if made by 10:00 PM ET the next business day, are not available to cover transactions that day.
