Share Draft Checking
Our Share Draft Checking1 has no minimum deposit or balance requirements, making it easy to maintain. With our debit card or personal checks, you can effortlessly access the funds in your account on the go.
With our Share Draft Checking, there are no limits to the number of checks you can write each month as funds allow. Canceled checks are not returned, but copies are available free of charge through our WEPCO PAL Plus online account access. Converted checks, which are checks that are processed as automatic withdrawals, are not available online, but a copy can be requested.

Additional Services for Share Draft Accounts
Courtesy Pay
Courtesy Pay2 will be added to your checking account 60 days after the opening date, if the account is in good standing.
This service allows WEPCO to pay an item presented for payment against your account, even if it causes the account to become overdrawn. While it is not an invitation to overdraw your account, it is an added layer of safety should you accidentally present items for more than you have in your account, or an error causes the account to become overdrawn. If you overdraw your account, we may pay each item up to the $500 limit3. Your account will be assessed a Courtesy Pay fee for each item we pay against an overdrawn account.
If you have established other overdraft protection methods, such as a line of credit or automatic transfer from your other account(s), we will always look to pay any overdraft by these methods first, which incur a smaller fee than Courtesy Pay.
There are many benefits to you:
- You won’t pay merchant returned check charges.
- You won’t pay collection agency fees for returned items.
- You avoid the embarrassment of items returned for insufficient funds.
- You have the added measure of protecting your good credit rating.
We require no applications or additional signatures from you to add this service to your checking account. Courtesy Pay is simply a way for us to provide a higher level of service to our members by helping protect your account and reputation. You may opt-out of this service if you do not want it at any time.
2 We charge a fee per automatic debit or check withdrawal that uses Courtesy Pay on a checking account only. Courtesy Pay does not include coverage for any one-time debit card or ATM transaction. We will cover up to and not exceed $500 for overdrafts. Members have 45 days to bring the account of the negative, after which it will be closed.
3 If a member has more than one checking account with us, only one checking account is available for this coverage. Members must choose which account to add this coverage to and sign an opt-out form for all other accounts.
Qwik Draft Bill Payer
Qwik Draft Bill Payer is our online and mobile Bill Payer service. You can use it to pay your one-time or recurring bills to save time and money.
