Will First Citizen Bank Refund Overdraft Fees?
Most account holders experience an overdraft from time to time. If you receive a charge on your account for any reason and there are not enough funds, you may be charged an overdraft if you're enrolled in an overdraft protection program. As part of the program, the bank will pay the remaining balance on your behalf, which ultimately allows the charge to go through. But in order to use this service, you will need to pay a fee every time the bank has to cover a charge.
As part of First Citizen Bank's Overdraft Protection Program, account holders will be charged $36 each time they have to pay an overdraft up to a limit of 4 overdrafts each business day. However, First Citizen Bank will not charge account holders an overdraft fee for overdrafts caused by $5.00 or less.
With that said, it's possible to get a refund if you've been charged . While they don't provide any specific information on the overdraft refund process, there are a few steps you can take to get your overdraft fee refunded. Keep in mind that your success in getting a refund is more likely if you rarely have overdrafts on your account.
