FAQ

People often ask us

You can find your routing number by selecting the state you opened your account. Routing numbers are often referred to as check routing numbers, ABA numbers or routing transit numbers (RTN).

You can also find your routing and account numbers on checks or in Digital Banking.

On checks

Your routing number is listed as the first sequence of numbers at the bottom left corner of your personal checks—typically a 9-digit number. If you have a business account, the routing number will follow the 6-digit check number at the bottom of your checks.

Your account number is listed as the second sequence of numbers at the bottom left corner of your personal or business checks—typically a 12-digit number.

In Digital Banking

Your routing and account numbers can be viewed online in Digital Banking. Select the account you want to see, then look for the details tab and select View Routing and Account Numbers.

Overdraft protection is an account management tool designed to help you cover a transaction when you don't have sufficient funds in your checking account. Eligible transactions may include checks, ATM withdrawals, debit card purchases, wires and electronic transfers. With overdraft protection, we'll cover a shortfall at our discretion so the transaction goes through successfully.

We offer multiple ways to protect your free checking account from overdrafts. Go beyond basic overdraft protection by linking to a savings account or opening a Checkline Reserve. Learn more about your options for overdraft protection coverage.

Yes. We use top-of-the-line security to protect your free checking account, including data encryption and multi-factor authentication. You can also set up alerts to monitor your account balances, transactions and settings in real time.

A free checking account lets you safely and easily deposit and withdraw money for everyday purchases. You can use personal checks or a debit card to spend your money, buy groceries and gas, pay bills, and get cash from ATMs.

If the available funds in your account are insufficient to pay an item when presented, Fosterr Bank will make a decision on whether to pay the item or return it unpaid. When we pay an item for which there are insufficient funds, it results in an overdraft. The following overdraft fee structure applies to eligible Consumer accounts: Fosterr Bank will charge you $10 each time we pay an item resulting in an overdraft, up to our limit of four (4) overdraft charges per business day. We will not charge you for overdrafts caused by transactions of $5.00 or less, nor for items returned unpaid. You are obligated to pay overdrafts immediately. Consumers have the option to decline overdraft service. Fosterr Bank also offers overdraft protection programs, though none is available on the Together Card. Please see our Deposit Account Agreement for additional details.
