Your
Ability to Withdraw Funds
This
policy statement applies to all deposit accounts.
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 checks that
you have written.
Please
remember that even after we have made funds available
to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still
responsible for checks you deposit that are returned
to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your
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 before 2:00
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 2:00 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.
If
you make a deposit at an ATM before 11:00 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 at an ATM after 11:00 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.
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.
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 that you deposited.
LONGER
DELAYS MAY APPLY
Case-by-case
delays. 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 fifth business day after
the day of your deposit. The first $100 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.
If
you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you
should ask us when the funds will be available.
Safeguard
exceptions. 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 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 eleventh business day
after the day of your deposit.
SPECIAL
RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS
If
you are a new customer, the following special rules
will 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, wire transfers, and the first $5,000
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 $5,000 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 us, 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
tenth business day after the day of your deposit.
