Why is there a difference between the balance and available balance on my account?
There are several reasons why your balance and available balance may be different.

Sometimes a hold will be placed on deposits. This normally happens when an out of state check for a high dollar amount is deposited into your account.

Does Linn Area Credit Union offer Overdraft protection?

Overdraft Advance is a privilege granted by Linn Area Credit Union that covers any overdraft amount (up to $500, including fees) without having to deal with bounced checks and return fees from merchants. The $25 overdraft fee still applies for each transaction. As long as you follow up and cover the overdraft and fee amounts, you will continue to qualify for Overdraft Advance. To learn more click here.

Linn Area Credit Union also offers overdraft protection that’s tied to your Linn Area credit card. In the event your account becomes overdrawn, a cash advance will be taken from your Linn Area credit card in increments of $100. Don’t have a Linn Area Credit Union credit card? Click here to apply.

If you have more than one account with Linn Area, you can have funds automatically withdrawn from other accounts to remedy overdrafts. To find out more, give us a call at 378-0101, Option 0 or 1-800-950-5228, Option 0, send us an email or stop by one of our convenient locations.
