Funds Availability Policy

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 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 them to pay checks you have written. 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 5 p.m. (or before 6 p.m. at our Automated Teller Machines) on a regular business day that we are open, the Credit Union will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after these cut-off times, or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Reservation of Right to Hold

In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the next business day that we receive your deposit. Funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225.00 of your deposit will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the next 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 next business 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.

Longer Delays May Apply

We may delay your ability to withdraw funds deposited by check into your account an additional number of days for these reasons:

•  We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
•  You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525.00 on any one (1) day.
•  You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
•  You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six (6) months.
•  There is an emergency, such as failure of 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 fifth business day after the day of your deposit.

Special Rules for New Accounts

If you are a new member, the following 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 $5,525.00 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 next business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,525.00 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 one of our employees, the first $5,525.00 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 ninth business day after the day of your deposit.

DEPOSITS AT NONPROPRIETARY ATMS

Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at automated teller machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate will not be available until the fifth business day after the date of your deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own or operate. All ATMs that we own or operate are identified as our machines.

FOREIGN CHECKS

Checks drawn on financial institutions located outside the U.S. (foreign checks) cannot be processed the same as checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions. Foreign checks are exempt from the policies outlined in this Disclosure. Generally, the availability of funds for deposits of foreign checks will be delayed for the time it takes us to collect the funds from the financial institution upon which it is drawn.

Your Liability

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.
