Fight Regions Bank Overdraft Fees in Just a Few Clicks

You're not alone if you've been hit with an overdraft fee by your financial institution due to purchase or withdrawal that surpassed your account balance. Many banks, including Regions Bank, allow account holders to opt in to overdraft protection to ensure you're not hit with surprise Regions Bank overdraft fees when you're in a pinch. However, without overdraft protection, you may end up paying around $450 in overdraft fees each year if you frequently overdraft your account.

Luckily, there's an easy way to fight Regions Bank overdraft fees and get those pesky fees waived. DoNotPay can request a refund for overdraft fees from Regions Bank and any other bank or institution.

What Regions Bank Considers an Overdraft

An overdraft happens when you attempt to make a payment via your bank card, check, or ACH transfer that exceeds your regular account balance, and your bank accepts the transaction to process by lending you money for the payment. Regions Bank is one of the many banks that allow account holders to borrow money to cover the transaction. Instead of paying interest on the extra money needed, an overdraft fee is charged and typically ranges from $30 to $35 per transaction. Take a quick look at overdraft charges among financial institutions to see how it compares to Regions Bank.

Common Overdraft Fees Across Popular Financial Institutions

What is the Difference Between Overdraft Charges and Insufficient Funds Fee at Regions Bank?

Although the two terms sound similar, overdraft fees and insufficient funds fees are different charges you could see on your Regions account. The main difference between the two fees is whether Regions Bank will pay for a transaction that occurs when your account balance does not have sufficient funds to cover the full transaction.

Regions Bank offers Standard Overdraft Coverage and Overdraft Protection to cover the payment even if you do not have the available funds. However, you must enroll in these programs to get coverage, or you'll experience a returned item (insufficient funds) fee. In the case of NSF, a transaction is not approved if your account balance does not have the available funds to cover the amount. You are still charged a $36 Returned Item fee in this situation, but you must add additional funds to your account before completing the purchase.

Will Regions Bank Refund Overdraft Fees?

While Regions Bank determines overdraft refunds on a case-by-case basis, the following special scenarios often result in a refund or waiver of the charge.

• Faulty overdraft charges
• You've made a mistake
• Considered a trustworthy client by the bank

Situations Where Regions Bank Will Not Pay Overdrafts

• Your account is not in good standing.
• You're not making regular deposits.
• You have too many overdrafts. Regions limit covering overdrafts and returned item fees to no more than five per day.

Since these scenarios are not always completely clear, many are unaware if they're eligible for an overdraft fee refund. DoNotPay takes the guesswork out of determining if you're entitled to a refund for the charge.
