1When your available balance is insufficient, Assure Checking doesn't assess NSF fees or Overdraft Fees on NSF items created by check, in-person withdrawal, ATM or other electronic means. Generally all NSF items will be declined or returned to the merchant/ third party unpaid. While we will not assess overdraft or NSF fees, a merchant or third party may assess fees for items returned unpaid. If this account does become overdrawn or your available balance is insufficient, you must bring it to a positive balance immediately to maintain this account. Please refer to the Assure Checking Truth in Savings Disclosure or speak with a banker for more information.

2Actual time to receive a transaction alert is dependent on wireless service and coverage within area. Message and data rates may apply. Some PIN-based debit transactions may be routed through non-Visa networks. Transactions routed through non-Visa networks will not trigger a purchase alert. For more information about Purchase Alerts, including any limitation and restrictions, go to www.hancockwhitney.com/purchase-alerts.

3Early Pay grants access to eligible direct deposit payments (PPD ACH transactions $25,000 and under) made into a Hancock Whitney Checking or Savings account up to two days prior to the scheduled payment date. Certain payroll payments may not be eligible for Early Pay. Early Pay availability is based on the timing of the payor’s payment instructions and therefore, you may not always see your direct deposits arrive early. Hancock Whitney does not guarantee early availability of these direct deposits. Early Pay eligibility may vary between pay periods, and daily/transaction limits apply. Any direct deposit not posted early will be made available to you in accordance with the payment instructions. After we have made the deposit available to you and you have withdrawn funds, you remain responsible if any deposit to your account is returned, rejected or uncollected by Hancock Whitney. No action is needed to take advantage of Early Pay. Early Pay will be activated for all Hancock Whitney Checking and Savings accounts only.

4U.S. checking or savings account required to use Zelle®. Transactions between enrolled users typically occur in minutes. Only send money to people you know well and trust. If you don't know the person you are paying or are unsure you will receive what you are purchasing, then we don't recommend you use Zelle® for the transaction. Once you have authorized and made a payment through Zelle®, it may not be possible to reverse the payment or recover the funds.
