Funds Availability Policy

Your Ability to Withdraw Funds

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 items that you have initiated.

Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for the checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving the deposit.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit Monday through Friday before we are closed at any of our offices 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 on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

If you make a deposit at an ATM before 6:00 P.M. CST/5:00 P.M. MST 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 at an ATM after 6:00 P.M. CST/5:00 P.M. MST or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

If you make a deposit using Mobile Deposit before 6:00 P.M. CST/5:00 P.M. MST 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 using Mobile Deposit after 6:00 P.M. CST/5:00 P.M. MST or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

If you make a deposit using Remote Deposit Capture before 6:00 P.M. CST/5:00 P.M. MST 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 using Remote Deposit Capture after 6:00 P.M. CST/5:00 P.M. MST or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

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 had you deposited it.

If we accept for deposit a check that is 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 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. The first $225 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. 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 $5,525 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 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 seventh business day after the day of your deposit. In any event, you may ask us when funds will become available prior to making a deposit.

Longer Delays May Apply

If you are a new customer, the following special rules may 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 transfers, and the first $5,525 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 $5,525 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 may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.

Funds from all other check deposits may be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit.

Deposits of Non-U.S. Items

The bank may refuse to accept for deposit or collection an item that is payable in currency other than U.S. Dollars or an item that is not drawn on a financial institution chartered in the U.S. (a “non-US item”). If the bank accepts any such item for deposit or collection, you accept all risk associated with foreign currency fluctuation (exchange rate risk) and with any late return of the item. You agree that the bank may use the bank’s current buying and selling rate, as applicable when processing a non-U.S. item and may recover
from the account any loss incurred by the bank as a result of its processing such an item for you. The bank reserves the right to place longer holds on non-U.S. items than the time frames specified in the bank’s Funds Availability Policy.
