An insufficient funds fee (sometimes referred to as a nonsufficient funds fee or NSF fee) can occur when a member does not have the available funds in their checking account to cover the entirety of the transaction they are trying to make.

An uncollected funds fee can occur when there are pending deposits or withdrawals on an account like a personal check or a debit card transaction that has yet to clear. If a member tries to make a purchase that is larger than their available balance, a fee will be assessed. SECU cannot guarantee funds that have not cleared.
