American Bank & Trust does not charge fees for the use of its mobile banking products; however, in the event that a transfer or bill payment results in an account being overdrawn, or if a deposited check is returned by the bank of first deposit, additional fees may be applied at the account level. We also recommend that you check with your wireless service provider to see if any connectivity or usage rates may apply.
