WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The majority of voters feel overdraft protections don’t need additional regulatory scrutiny. Overdraft protection, a burgeoning product among credit unions, was the subject of the just expired Credit Union Times online voting poll.

What do you think? * OD programs should include an APR – 7.58% * Regulators should rein in aggressive marketing of the programs – 11.37% * OD programs should include APR and marketing should be regulated more closely – 15.17% * OD programs are fine the way they are – 61.14% * Not sure – 4.74% Total Votes: 211
