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 pm (CT) 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.
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 $200 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 of time under any of the following circumstances:
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.
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 local 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.
If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open:
All deposits, cash or check, made at an ATM terminal will have a hold of at least two business day.
