FUNDS AVAILABILITY DISCLOSURE

Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit, except for cash and wire transfers for which we give immediate credit. At that time you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use funds to pay checks that you have written.
For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 4:00 p.m. on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the above mentioned time or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
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.
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 need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
> We believe the check you deposited will not be paid.
You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 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 communications or computer 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 seventh business day after the day of your deposit.
Holds On Other Funds (Check Cashing)
If we cash a check for you that is 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. For example, if we cash a $100 check for you, $100 of funds already in your account will not be available until the first business day after the day we cashed the check.
Special Rules For New Account
If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.
The first $5,525 from a deposit of U.S. Treasury checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. The excess over $5,525 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from wire transfers into your account will be available on the first business day after the day we receive the transfer.
Funds from deposits of cash and the first $5,525 of a day's total deposits of cashiers certified, teller's, traveler's and 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 you do not make the deposit 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 your deposit.
