Midland will check your current balance and if you don’t have the funds to cover the withdrawal, we’ll check to see if you have overdraft protection services and the amount of coverage available. As long as coverage is available, Midland will access your overdraft coverage and pay the item and process the overdraft according to your agreement.
Midland offers free financial tools that provide the ability to be aware of what’s in your accounts at the time you spend your money. You can sign up and use the following tools that help you be your own overdraft protection service:
1. Online banking balance alerts

Sometimes understanding the difference between a returned item and a paid overdraft item can be confusing. Here’s how you can tell the difference:
If your item is returned and not paid:
Your bank statement (or online banking history) will show a fee associated with the processing of a presented item(s) that was returned and your overdraft protection services wouldn’t cover the item(s).
If your item is paid by accessing your Overdraft Protection service:
Your bank statement (or online banking history) will show the item(s) withdrawn from your balance, resulting in a negative balance but offset by a deposit from your qualified overdraft protection service (Savings Transfer and Reserve Line of Credit). Courtesy Overdraft Protection continues to show negative balances and certain fees are associated with sustained negative balance. You’ll also see a fee for processing the item(s).
It’s better to keep a bad thing from happening than it is to fix a bad thing once it’s happened. The best way to avoid fees associated with overdrafts is to prevent the overdraft from occurring.
Here are a few prevention tips:
Establish a budget each month.
By understanding how you spend your money, you’re able to plan ahead for expenses.
Understand your cash flow.
Write down your income (paycheck, child support payments, etc.) and subtract the total of your monthly expenses. The remaining amount is what you have left over to set aside for your emergency fund.
Track your checking account activity.
Always track what you’ve spent out of the account and what you’ve deposited. This can be done with a checking account register. Online and mobile services keep you informed and provide immediate access to your account information.
Use Online and Mobile Banking to help.
- Set up mobile or email alerts
- Pay bills within Online Banking
- Move money between accounts
- Use FinanceWorks to set up your budget
- View your account statement online and balance each month
Set up Savings Account Transfers for added protection.
Understand your fees.
Read your account documents so that you understand how your account works, the fees associated with your account, the fees associated with your debit card, and the fees charged for miscellaneous bank services.
Balance your account.
Balance your checkbook regularly and review your checking account statement every month.
Here are some examples:
- You forget to record your automatic payments that are deducted from your checking account.
- You write a check that’s greater than the available balance in your checking account.
- You don’t set aside money to cover emergencies or mistakes.
- Your account closes because you don’t have money in it.
- You run your account balance too close—and hope that the checks you write don’t clear before your next deposit.
- You don’t record your checks and debit card transactions in your checkbook register.
- You don’t balance your account on a regular basis.
Using one or a combination of the following financial tools will help you stay informed and avoid financial pitfalls that lead to an overdrawn account.
- Set up mobile or email alerts.
- Pay bills within Online Banking.
- Move money between accounts.
- Use FinanceWorks to set up your budget.
- View your account statement online and balance each month.
