CHICAGO, Oct 08, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- BMO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Harris today announced changes to its consumer deposit overdraft processes to assist in minimizing customer overdraft and non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees. The changes will be implemented by the end of the year and apply to all consumer deposit accounts, in all markets, and include:

    --  eliminating overdraft and NSF fees if a customer's account is overdrawn
        $5 or less
    --  instituting a maximum number of overdraft occurrences and overdraft fees
        of four per day

    --  instituting a maximum number of NSF fees of four per day

"At Harris, our aspiration is to be the bank that defines great customer experience," said Chris McComish, executive vice president, Retail Banking. "These changes along with the range of products and services we provide our customers today, will help us continue to deliver on our promise."

Examples of advice and help Harris regularly provides customers to avoid overdraft and NSF fees, include:

    --  Utilize Harris Online Banking(R) to track pending and cleared
        transactions. If you see a  pending transaction may cause an overdraft,
        then you can quickly make a cash deposit or transfer funds online to
        prevent the overdraft.
    --  Utilize Harris Bill Pay and Presentment(R) by paying bills online.  This
        will allow you to automatically schedule payments at intervals that best
        suit you.
    --  Set up alerts on Harris Total Look(R) to notify you if your balance falls
        below a certain threshold so you can make a deposit prior to overdrawing
        your checking account.
    --  Sign up for direct deposit of your pay check for automatic regular
        deposits to avoid delays in transferring money to your account.
    --  For occasional overdrafts, sign up for Harris Overdraft Funding which
        links your Harris checking account to a Harris savings account.
    --  Add Harris Overdraft Protection Line of Credit to your Harris checking
        account and whenever your checking account falls below zero, we'll
        automatically transfer money from the line of credit to your checking
        account up to your available credit limit.
    --  Establish a monthly budget and track daily spending against your budget
        to avoid overspending and overdrawing your account.

    --  Record all check and debit card transactions daily in your check
        register to maintain an updated balance.
