Funds Availability Policy
Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit.
Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash or we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.
Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
For Deposits at all locations
For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays. If you make a deposit on a business day before 3:00 p.m., we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 3:00 p.m. or on a day not considered a business day, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day. Deposits made in the night depository after 7:00 a.m. will be considered made on the next business day. If you make a deposit at an ATM before 12:00 p.m. on a business day, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit at an ATM after 12:00 p.m., or on a day not considered a business day, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day.
If we cash a check for you drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.
If we accept for deposit a check drawn on another bank, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately, but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.
longer delays may apply
In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225 of your deposits will be available on the first business day after we receive your deposit.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day after we receive your deposit, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should inquire as to when the funds would be available.
In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
- We believe a check deposited will not be paid.
- You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 in any one day.
- You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
- There is an emergency such as failure of communications or computer equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your availability to withdrawal funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. The funds will generally be available no later than the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.
special rules for new account
If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account in open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits into your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525 of a day’s total deposits of the cashier’s, certified, teller’s, federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,525 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,525 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.
Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the ninth business day after the day of deposit.
