  • Use direct deposit for your paycheck.  You will have access to your paycheck immediately.
  • Keep track of your balance and transactions. Today, it is easier than ever to check balances and transactions online, by phone, or at the ATM, 24 hours a day.  
  • Link your checking account to an overdraft line of credit, savings account, or credit card.  These are usually less expensive alternatives.
  • Find out if your bank will allow you to "opt-out" of overdraft protection.  \\
  • Ask bank for a small line of credit.
  • See if your bank offers automatic notification when your balance drops below a certain level.  You may be able to get notified by text message or email.
  • Change banks if your bank doesn't offer the services you would like, or charges too much for overdrafts.  There are literally thousands of banks competing for your business.
