YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS AT CARDINAL BANK. Our policy is to delay the availability of funds from your cash and check deposits. During the delay, you may not withdraw the funds in cash and we will not use the funds to pay checks that you have written.
Determining the Availability of a Deposit. The length of the delay is counted in business days from the day of your deposit. Everyday is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 2:00 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 after 2:00 or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below.
Same-Day Availability. Funds from electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit.
Next-Day Availability. Funds from the following deposits are available on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit:
- U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to you.
- Wire transfers.
- Checks drawn on Cardinal Bank (except checks drawn on a branch in a different state or check processing region).
If you make the deposit in person to one of our employees, funds from the following deposits are also available on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit:
- Cash.
- State and local government checks that are payable to you and are deposited using special deposit slips. Special deposit slips are available from us upon request.
- Cashier's, certified, and teller's checks that are payable to you and are deposited using special deposit slips. Special deposit slips are available from us upon request.
- Federal Reserve Bank checks, Federal Home Loan Bank checks, and postal money orders, if these items are payable to you.
If you do not make your deposit in person to one of our employees (for example, if you mail the deposit), funds from these deposits will be available on the second business day after the day we receive your deposit.
Availability of Other Check Deposits. The delay for other check deposits depends on whether the check is a local or a nonlocal check. To see whether a check is a local or a nonlocal check, look at the routing number on the check:
If the first four digits of the routing number (1234 in the above example) are 0510, 2510, 0514, 2514, 0520, 2520, 0521,2521, 0522, 2522, 0540, 2540, 0550, 2550, 0560, 2560, 0570, or 2570, then the check is a local check. Otherwise, the check is a nonlocal check. Some checks are marked "payable through" and have a four or nine-digit number nearby. For these checks, use the four-digit number (or the first four digits of the nine-digit number), not the routing number on the bottom of the check, to determine if these checks are local or nonlocal. Our policy is to make funds from local and nonlocal checks available as follows:
1. Local Checks. The first $100 from a deposit of local checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the second business day after the day of your deposit. For example, if you deposit a local check of $700 on a Monday, $100 of the deposit is available on Tuesday. The remaining $600 is available on Wednesday.
2. Nonlocal Checks. The first $100 from a deposit of nonlocal checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. For example, if you deposit a nonlocal check of $700 on a Monday, $100 of the deposit is available on Tuesday. The remaining $600 is available on Monday of the following week.
If you deposit both categories of checks, $100 from the checks will be available on the first business day after the day of the deposit, not $100 from each category of check.
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:
- You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
- You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
- We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
- 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 be available no later than the eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.
Holds On Other Funds. 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. 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.
Special Rules For New Accounts. If you are a new customer, 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 first business day after 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 first 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 $5,000 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 10th business day after the day of your deposit.
