INDIANA, Pa., Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- S&T Bank (NASDAQ: STBA) announced today that it will no longer charge consumer and business deposit account customers non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees beginning April 3, 2023.

An NSF fee, sometimes referred to as a returned item fee, was previously charged when a check, recurring debit card payment or automatic payment was presented against a customer's account with insufficient funds available and was returned by the bank unpaid.

S&T is also pleased to introduce S&T $10 Cushion™, a new overdraft assistance benefit. Overdraft assistance benefits are tools offered by S&T to help customers avoid overdrawing their deposit account. With the launch of S&T $10 Cushion™, if a customer's account is overdrawn by $10 or less after nightly processing, an overdraft fee will not be charged.

"This is an important moment," stated Jason Forman, director of consumer banking. "Eliminating NSF fees on consumer and business deposit accounts is just another way we are helping our customers strengthen their financial wellness. S&T $10 Cushion is evidence of our commitment to help our customers and provides an additional solution for overdraft assistance."

In addition to these changes, S&T announced it will eliminate ACH return item fees, deposited return item fees and transfer fees when money is moved from a savings account or line of credit to cover transactions that overdraw an account.

"As a people-forward bank, we are committed to providing clarity and transparency with our bank products and solutions to further enhance the financial relationship we have with our customers," said Chris McComish, chief executive officer. "Eliminating NSF fees is a step we are proud to take in our ongoing commitment to make our customers' financial health our priority and build customers' confidence with their financial life."
