Funds Availability Policy

When a deposit is made to your account, the funds may not be available immediately. For example, if you deposit a check on Monday, you may not be able to withdraw the funds from that check, and we may not pay another check with those funds, until Tuesday or even later. See the Availability Timeline below for details about when you can use the funds from different type of deposits.

If you withdraw funds from a check deposit, and the check is later returned unpaid, we may charge the check back to your account.

 

Availability Timeline for Deposits to Established Accounts

Below is our general policy for deposits to accounts open for more than 30 days. Longer delays may apply, and different rules apply to checks deposited to accounts open 30 days or less (see below).

A business day is any day of the week except Saturday, Sunday, and Federal holidays. A deposit made before the close of business on a business day is considered deposited that day. A deposit made after that time, or on a day we are closed (through night deposit), is considered deposited the next business day.
