  • You must deposit a minimum of $1.00 to open this account.
  • Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (for example, checks). In other words, interest is paid on collected balances.
  • We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal balance in the account each day.
  • Interest for your account will be compounded and credited monthly.
  • Currently, the interest rate on your FNBO Direct Online Checking account is 0.15% with an annual percentage yield of 0.15%, accurate as of 02-16-2024 and is subject to change after that date. Your interest rate and annual percentage yield may change. At our discretion, we may change the interest rate on your account at any time.
  • We are not obligated to honor checks drawn against your account. BillPay payments from your Checking Account may not be less than $5 or more than $10,000. You may not schedule more than one payment per payment date to the same merchant. For security reasons, there may be other limits on the transfers and withdrawals that you can make.
  • After your account is closed if any accrued interest of $5.00 or less remains, it will be forfeited.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SECURITY FOR DEPOSITS AND TRANSFERS: The security of your FNBO Direct account and any external linked account is important to us. We have various policies and procedures that are designed with security in mind. As a result, we may at any time: (1) change the ways in which you are permitted to make deposits to your account or transfers from your account; (2) temporarily restrict any or all deposits to your account and any or all transfers from your account, if we determine a security risk exists; (3) refuse to enroll any external account and suspend or terminate the enrollment of any previously approved external account; and (4) refuse to complete any transfer or withdrawal based on the existence of a security risk. When you request to enroll any external account, we may temporarily restrict all deposits to and/or transfers from your FNBO Direct account while we verify your ownership of all your external accounts. Except for notices required by applicable law, we may do these things without further notice. In some cases, our security policies may delay transactions that you wish to complete. If any Additional Verification (as referenced above) has not been completed to our satisfaction, we may consider a security risk to exist.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY FOR CHECKING ACCOUNTS

Your Ability To Withdraw Funds

Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds and we will use the funds to make BillPay payments. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 3:00 pm CST on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 3:00 pm CST or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Longer delays may apply. In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. The first $225 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will mail you notice by the day after we receive your deposit and will also tell you when the funds will be available. If you need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day.
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications equipment.
  • We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

Special Rules for New Accounts

If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, travelers, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the second business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions (the first business day in the case of a U.S. Treasury check). For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,525 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit.

Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.
