Monthly service charge of $10 can be waived by the following: primary account holder under 18 or age 64 and over with valid date of birth on file, or is an eligible Priority Checking or Private Wealth Management Client, or have one or more client-initiated debit and/or credit transactions post to the checking account per statement cycle. If your account is closed within the first 180 days after opening, a $20 closing fee will be assessed and we reserve the right to deduct the bonus amount from your account’s closing balance. Please refer to the Truth in Savings Disclosure for other applicable fees and information.

Priority Checking Account Terms and Conditions: Minimum opening deposit of $25 required.

A Priority Checking account cannot be linked to any other Priority, Connect, or Private Wealth checking account for combined balance calculations. A $20 closing fee will be assessed if the account is closed within the first 180 days after the account is opened. Please refer to the Truth in Savings Disclosure for other applicable fees and information. If your account is closed within 180 days after opening, we reserve the right to deduct the bonus amount from your account’s closing balance.

Assure Checking Account Terms and Conditions: $25 minimum opening deposit is required. There is a monthly service charge of $7 and can be waived if the primary account holder is under 18 years old with valid birth date on file.

1 Assure Checking Overdraft Terms: When 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.

2 Early Pay Terms: Early 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.

3 Overdraft Fee Terms: NSF items created by check, in-person withdrawals or other electronic means that overdraw (OD) an account may be charged $36.00 per item. If you have opted-in to the payment of ATM and everyday debit card (POS) NSF items into overdraft, we may assess OD fees on those items as well. We waive OD fees on the following: NSF items of $5.00 or less or overdrawn balances of $10.00 or less at the end of nightly batch processing. See our Truth in Savings Disclosure and Deposit Agreement for more information. We pay overdrafts at our discretion and do not guarantee that we will always authorize payment of any transaction. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing. If your account is overdrawn, you must immediately bring it to a positive balance. For additional details on the Bank’s OD practices see our Standard Overdraft Services, or visit a local financial center.
