Q: Why could a hold be placed on my check deposits?

A: Our normal procedures are to place a two business day hold on most checks. This time allows us to begin the check clearing process through the Federal Reserve System. On a case by case basis, a longer hold may be placed on deposits over $5,000 or in cases where the collectability of the check is in question. If a longer hold is placed on your check, you will receive a form detailing the hold amount and reason. Please refer to our Funds Availability Policy for more information.
