Members that no longer qualify for the Digital Edge Spend Account will be converted to the Enhanced Checking account (if under 27) or the Digital Freedom Spend Account (when turning 27) and no longer qualify for these fee exemptions.

Courtesy Pay includes checks, ACH, bill payments, and recurring debit card transactions. Courtesy Pay Select is optional and covers ATM and one-time debit card transactions. Any overdraft must be repaid within 10 days after the transaction. Courtesy Pay and Courtesy Pay Select transactions are not guaranteed and are paid at the discretion of The Summit.
