Our policy is to make funds from your deposit available to you on the same business day we receive your deposit. At that time, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, federal holidays and holidays we normally close. If you make a deposit before 3:00 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 3:00 p.m. 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 of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $100 of your deposit 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 our 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 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 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 in 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 of your deposit.

If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

The first $5,000 from a deposit of U.S. Treasury checks will be available the first business day of your deposit. The excess over $5,000 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 we receive the transfer.

Funds from deposits of cash and the first $5,000 of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s, certified, teller’s, traveler’s and state and local government checks will be available on the first business 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 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 $5,000 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 seventh business day after the day of your deposit.
