YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS
This policy statement applies to “transaction” accounts
and share savings accounts. Transaction accounts, in general, are
accounts which permit an unlimited number of payments to third persons
and an unlimited number of telephone and preauthorized transfers to
other accounts of yours with us. Share draft accounts are the most
common transaction accounts. Feel free to ask us whether any of your
other accounts might also be under this policy.
Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available
to you on the same 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.
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and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks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 closing 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 closing 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 same day
we receive 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 $100 of your deposits, however, may
be available on the same day.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available
on the same day we receive your deposit, 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.
- ou 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 by available no later that the seventh
business day after the day of your deposit.
SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS
If you are a new member, 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 of cash, 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
same day as 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 seventh business day after the day of your deposit. If your
deposit of these checks (other then U.S. Treasury check) is not made
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.
