There is no fee to enroll in the optional Overdraft Service. However, you may incur fees when you use the service. Once you overdraft, if you bring your account back to a positive balance within 24 hours, no fee is charged. After 24 hours, you’re charged a $20 fee per transaction that overdrafts your account by more than $10.

You may enroll in the Overdraft Service under Account Info in the user profile. You must receive direct deposits totaling at least $400.00 to your Account within thirty-five (35) days of your enrollment in the Service (direct deposits received prior to enrollment count towards this total). You must have a positive Available Balance in your Account at the time we activate the Service on your Account. Once you have met all eligibility requirements, your participation in the Service will be activated within twenty-four (24) hours. Once the Service is activated on your Account, you MUST continue to receive direct deposits totaling at least $200.00 to your Account every thirty (30) days or we will deactivate your participation in the Service.

You have 24 hours from the time your transaction posts to your account to repay the funds you overdraft. Let’s say you overdraft your account at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, then you have until 2:00 p.m. on Friday to add the funds into your account.

The optional Overdraft Service⁶ is Porte’s overdraft protection feature. Once you enroll and meet the eligibility requirements, you will be charged $20.00 for each transaction that overdraws your account by more than $10.00, up to a maximum of five (5) fees per calendar month. To avoid that fee, you have twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the first transaction that creates the overdraft to bring your Account back to a zero ($0.00) or a positive balance.

At our discretion, the Overdraft Service may cover debit purchases and ATM withdrawals. The Overdraft Service will not cover ACH debit transactions or reoccurring debit transactions.

Unfortunately, you cannot ensure you will receive the same perk. Porte Perks are made available based on how and where each individual accountholder shops using the debit card connected to their account.

No. Once a perk expires there is no way to reinstate it. To stay up-to-date with all perks, visit the Porte Perks Page in the app.

Yes, you may use a merchant’s coupon if: (a) the coupon hasn’t expired; (b) there are no usage restrictions described on the coupon or in the offer details; and (c) the amount paid for the purchase still meets the perk requirements after the coupon discount has been applied. For example, if the offer requires a purchase of $20, the amount of the purchase after the coupon discount has been applied must still be at least $20.

No, you do not have to enroll in or sign up for the program. The benefits of the program are automatically available to all eligible accountholders. To maintain eligibility, you must use your account in accordance with the terms and conditions of your Deposit Account Agreement and the terms and conditions of this program.  You may opt out at any time if you do not wish to participate in the program.

In most cases, you will not need a code or coupon to redeem a perk. However, each perk may have specific redemption requirements such as how much you need to spend, or other specified conditions. In the case of online perks (or other similar instances), a code may be included. You must read each offer carefully to determine its details.

No, there is no extra cost to participate in the Porte Perks program. This program is a benefit that is available to all eligible accountholders.  Please refer to your Deposit Account Agreement for any fees that may apply to purchase transactions using your debit card.

Tap an offer for any of the perks you see on the dashboard or Porte Perks page to add the perk to your card and learn more about it. Then, visit the merchant before the offer expires and use your debit card to pay for the qualifying purchase.

Each perk will have an expiration date set by the merchant. The expiration date will appear in the details section of the perk. Click on the perk to expand it to see the expiration date. Once a perk has expired, it cannot be reinstated.

You can opt back in to the program by clicking the link on the Porte Perks page in the app.

No, your personal information is not shared with the merchant providing a perk. When you activate a perk, and make a purchase, the merchant does not know you are participating in this program.

Available Perks are offers that are brand new to you. To begin using the Available Perks, just click the “Add to Card” button.

Active Perks are offers that you’ve activated by pressing “Add to Card”. Once activated, you can earn your reward by shopping according to the terms of the offer. You will not earn a reward until you shop.

Porte Perks is a program that offers cash back for using your Porte card to purchase qualifying merchandise and services. We call these targeted offers perks. You’ll receive targeted perks, based on your shopping habits. You redeem these perks and get cash back (in the form of account credits) on these select purchases. There is no limit to how much cash back you can earn (though there may be limits with respect to individual perks). So, the more you use your Porte card, the more perks you can receive, and the more cash back you can earn.

You can opt out of receiving perks by tapping the “Opt out of Porte Perks” button on the Porte Perks page in the app. If you opt out of Porte Perks but later change your mind, you can opt back in to the program on the app.

At our discretion, the Overdraft Service may cover debit purchases and ATM withdrawals. The Overdraft Service will not cover ACH debit transactions or reoccurring debit transactions.

The Porte Perks account credit associated with the perk will appear on your account statement at the end of the calendar month following the calendar month during which you made the qualifying purchase. (For example: if you made the qualifying purchase in June, your account credit will appear on your account statement at the end of July.) Once they have been added to your account, each pending account credit will be identified so you will be able to verify each transaction.

Questions about the program should be directed to Porte. Please call us at the telephone number appearing on the back of your debit card.

Questions about products or services obtained through use of the offers should be directed to the merchant responsible for the perk.

Perks are based on how you shop with your debit card. If you don’t use your debit card very much you may not receive perks until you start using your debit card more often and that’s because sometimes there won’t be any perks available that match your debit card activity. The more you use your debit card, the more chances you will have to receive relevant perks.

You will not earn any new Porte Perks account credits after you opt out, but any account credits you qualified for before opting out will appear on your account statement by the last day of the calendar month following the calendar month during which the transaction occurred.

Yes. The minimum purchase amount may include sales tax and/or shipping charges for the purchase. For example, if the perk requires a purchase of $50, and you spend $48 plus $2.88 sales tax for a total of $50.88, the purchase will qualify for the reward.

The referral bonus will be paid within 24 hours after the qualifying direct deposit has been posted to your friend’s account.

Refer as many friends as you want! However, the maximum bonus amount you can receive is $100 per friend, for a maximum of $500. The referral bonus of $100 is for a limited time.

You send your friend your personal link, which includes a referral code from within the Porte App. Your friend has to open a Porte account and receive a qualifying direct deposit in order for you both to receive the bonus.

You will not be eligible for the referral bonus.

You can find your unique referral link in the Porte app. Go to the Refer a Friend section on the dashboard and follow the instructions.
