What is the difference between Overdraft Protection and Overdraft Privilege?

Overdraft Protection
When you make a withdrawal that results in a negative balance in your checking account, Overdraft Protection services may help prevent an overdraft by automatically transferring funds to your checking account from another eligible deposit account or Home Equity Line of Credit you have at North Shore Bank for a fee or finance charge. Overdraft Protection services apply to all transactions.

Overdraft Protection is a great way to protect against the large fees merchants may charge for returned checks, and it's available for just a small fee. If you would like to sign up for Overdraft Protection, please visit your nearest North Shore Bank location. 

Overdraft Privilege
Overdraft Privilege allows you to overdraw your account up to a preset limit for a fee in order to pay a transaction. This limit is set by North Shore Bank. Even if you have Overdraft Protection, Overdraft Privilege is still available as secondary coverage if the Overdraft Protection source is exhausted. North Shore Bank has the discretion to pay overdrafts on accounts in good standing and any payment is a discretionary courtesy, and not a customer right nor an obligation of North Shore Bank. North Shore Bank can stop paying overdrafts at any time without prior notice of reason or cause.
