Revised: December 2017
Funds Availability applies to savings and checking accounts. Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you as soon as possible. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.
Determining the Availability of a 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 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 mail your deposit, we will consider the day that we receive the check to be the day of your deposit. The length of delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below.
