This policy statement applies
to all deposit accounts
Our Policy is to make funds from your cash and check
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 them in cash and 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funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible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.
Longer Delays May Apply
Case-by-case delays. 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
fifth business day after the day of your deposit. The first
$100.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on
the first business day, 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 ask us
whent he funds will be available.
Safeguard exceptions. In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for
a longer period under the following circumstances:
- We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
- You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on 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 computer or communications equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any
of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be
available no later than the eleventh business day after the day of your account.
Special Rules For New Accounts
If you are a
new customer, the following special rules will apply during the
first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be
available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfer,
and the first $5,000.00 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's and 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 $5,000.00 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 $5,000.00 will not be available
until the second business day of your deposit.
Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the fifth business day
