How can I prevent overdrafts on my account?

We’re here to help.

At Redwood Credit Union, we’re committed to your financial success, and we want to help you to avoid overdrafts. While services like Overdraft Pay Advantage can reduce the cost of an overdraft in the event of a mistake or unexpected expense, careful spending and budgeting are still the best way to manage your money effectively.
