Overdraft Protection

Everybody makes mistakes, even when it comes to their checking account. The good news is that Sentry Bank has ways to cover your overdraft mistakes before you get penalized for them.

Checking Reserve
We offer a Checking Reserve line of credit that is attached to your checking account so that if you overdraft your account, it automatically advances and covers the negative balance. Subject to qualification.

Auto Transfer
If you have multiple accounts with Sentry Bank, you can set them up so that if you overdraft your checking account, we will transfer money from another account, whether it is a savings account*, a line of credit, or even another checking account.
