If you do not have sufficient funds available in your account to cover a transaction, the transaction will be declined in most cases. In the case that your account is overdrawn, you will not be charged an overdraft fee.
There is no monthly maintenance charge for M&T Starter Savings. Regardless of whether a monthly maintenance charge applies, M&T savings accounts are subject to transaction and services fees, including insufficient funds (NSF) and overdraft fees as noted in the Specific Features and Terms for each account and also the Additional Fees and Fees for Use of Electronic Banking Card for Consumer Savings Accounts which are available on request at any M&T banking office or through the M&T Telephone Banking Center.
Waive the $4.95 monthly maintenance charge with one or more transactions each monthly service charge cycle, such as a deposit, withdrawal, or any debit payments. Other transaction and service fees may apply to this account.
Interest rate is compounded daily and paid monthly. This is a variable-rate account, and the rate may change after the account is opened. All interest rates and Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) stated are accurate as of today's date. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. Rates may vary by region.
