So far so good. I got approved without problems. Part of the online application process is ACH funding from another account where First Clover Leaf deposits two small amounts to be verified by you before approval. I applied on the 14th and today (the 16th) I got an email today stating:

Welcome to First Clover Leaf Bank! We have placed in today's mail a welcome packet containing:

Please read over the overdraft service notice. This notice contains important information regarding how First Clover Leaf Bank will handle any overdrafts related to one time debit card purchases and ATM transactions from your account.
