First National Bank of Omaha Free Checking Account

There are two overdraft protection options First National Bank of Omaha offers to its customers, namely:

1. Overdraft Protection

Overdraft Protection lets you link an FNBO savings account or an FNBO line of credit to your Free Checking, so, in case you ever run out of funds, the money will be automatically transferred from your linked account to your FNBO Checking account to complete the transaction, and avoid overdrawing your account.

2. Overdraft Service

Overdraft Service is an optional service you can use to tell FNBO how to proceed when If you have a linked account as part of Overdraft Protection, but there aren't any funds available in it to cover a transaction. The bank will know which transactions to authorize, i.e. pay and which to decline. Do note that you may be charged overdraft or NSF fees, no matter if your transaction has been declined or approved.

The best way to avoid overdraft fees altogether is to keep your balance positive at all times. You can always set up account alerts to inform you when your balance is low, so you can transfer funds immediately to your Free Checking.

First National Bank of Omaha will also forgive you 1 overdraft or returned item per year. You won't be charged for any overdrafts of $20 or less, either. This is more than other banks usually allow. Normally, they charge no overdraft or NSF fees if you overdraw your account by $5 or less - so, another big plus for FNBO!
