Funds Availability |
Funds Availability Disclosure (Current)The following disclosure is effective until July 1, 2020. PURPOSE OF THIS DISCLOSURE The information here describes our policy of holding deposited items in a transaction account before funds are made available to you for withdrawal. This is our Funds Availability Policy. In summary our policy is to make your funds available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit. Please refer to the section DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSIT for the complete policy. For purpose of this disclosure, the terms “you”/ ”your” refer to the customer and the terms “our”/ “we”/ “us” refer to First Harrison Bank. Generally, transaction accounts are accounts which would permit an unlimited number of payments by check to third persons, and also an unlimited number of telephonic and pre-authorized transfers to third persons or other accounts you may have with us. DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSIT The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we will not pay checks you have written on your account by suing these funds. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for the checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. The term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or federally declared legal holiday, and the term “Banking Day” means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions. In order to establish that a deposit is made on a particular Business Day, we establish a cut-off time. You must make your deposit before the cut-off time in order for it to be considered to have been made on that Business Day. The cut-off time that we use depends on the location where you make your deposit. If you make a deposit before 5:00 pm on a Monday -Thursday 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 5:00 pm or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open. Effective October 27th 2017, deposits made before 6:00pm on Fridays business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Some branch locations may vary from this time. Checks deposited through Cinch Deposit Monday – Friday before 4:00pm ET will be credited to your account the same business day (typically between 4:30pm ET and 5:00pm ET). Deposits made after 4:00pm ET or on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal Holiday will be credited to your account on our next business day. Deposits may not be available for immediate withdrawal. AVAILABILITY SCHEDULE 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 them to pay checks that you have written. HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS FOR CHECK CASHING If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, 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 and we decided to delay availability on the deposit. HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS IN ANOTHER ACCOUNT If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, 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 and we decided to delay availability on the deposit. LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available according to the previously stated availability schedule. 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 $200.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the day of the deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule, 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. Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances: (a) if we believe a check you deposit will not be paid; (b) if you deposit checks totaling more than $5000.00 on any one day; (c) if you redeposit a check that had been returned unpaid; (d) if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or (e) if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the failure of computer or communications equipment. We will notify you if we delay your availability 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 seventh Business Day after the day of your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.
