End of each
Business Day
• Check deposits
• Other Debits (checks, bill payments
initiated by you through the Account
Center, and ACH withdrawals initiated
externally)
• Other fees
• Interest
To provide prompt credit when a check drawn on Discover
Bank is deposited to another Discover Bank account,
we debit the account on which the check is drawn at the
same time that we credit the account to which the check
is deposited. In this circumstance, the debit may be
processed prior to other credits to the same account.
Generally, items posted to your Account are paid in the
order they are received by type of transaction. However,
for transactions processed at the end of the Business
Day, if there are insufficient funds in your Account to pay
all debits presented, we will post and pay checks, bill
payments initiated by you through the Account Center, and
ACH withdrawals initiated externally in order from lowest
to highest dollar amount. If an item presented to us for
payment is being returned unpaid, the return transaction
and related fees will post to your Account on the following
Business Day.
(c) Insufficient Funds
Generally, we will not pay or honor any withdrawal or
transfer against your Account if there are insufficient
available funds to satisfy the full amount. In this case, we
will assess an Insufficient Funds Fee and the transactions
will be returned unpaid. A maximum of one (1) Insufficient
Funds Fee per day will be assessed. We may charge
applicable fees to your Account, even if there are
insufficient available funds to pay the fees, and you agree
to deposit funds to pay any resulting overdraft.
For Insufficient Funds information regarding the Discover
Student Deposits Program, see Section 7.
(d) Unusual Transactions and Competing Claims
• We reserve the right to delay or decline any transaction on
your Account if we suspect fraud, possible illegal activity,
an account take over or any other unusual activity that may
affect your Account, or receive competing claims regarding
your Account.
• Further, we reserve the right to suspend or freeze the funds
in your Account or any other Accounts you maintain with us
if you don’t provide information we request or we believe
your Account may be subject to unauthorized, irregular,
illegal or fraudulent activity. If we freeze or suspend any
of your transactions on your Account, we may provide you
notice as soon as is reasonably possible. However, we
reserve the right to not provide such notice if we believe
that such notice could result in a security risk to the owner
of the funds, the Account or to us.
