TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR ACCOUNT
Your Ability to Withdraw Funds
This policy statement applies to all deposit accounts.
Our policy is to delay the availability of funds from your 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.
Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
Determining the Availability of a Deposit
The length of the delay is counted in business days from the day of your deposit. Every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before closing 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 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. The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below.
If you make a deposit at an ATM before 2:00 p.m. 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 at an ATM after 2:00 p.m. or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
Same-Day Availability
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from the following deposits are also available on the business day we receive your deposit:
- U.S. Treasury checks
- Wire Transfers
- Checks drawn on Lenox Savings Bank
- Cash
- State and local government checks, 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.
OTHER CHECK DEPOSITS
The delay for other check deposits depends on whether the check is a local check or a non-local check. Some checks will be marked "payable through" a particular financial institution. You will check the address of the "payable through" institution to determine if it is a local or non-local check.
Local checks.
The first $100.00 from a deposit of local checks will be available the same day as the deposit. The remaining funds will be available the second business day after the day of deposit. For example, if you deposit a local check of $700.00 on a Monday, $100.00 is available on Monday. The remaining $600.00 is available on Wednesday.
Non-Local checks.
The first $100.00 from a deposit of non-local checks will be available the same day as the deposit. The remaining funds will be available the fifth business day after the day of deposit. For example, if your deposit a non-local check of $700.00 on a Monday, $100.00 is available on Monday. The remaining $600.00 is available on the Monday of the following week.
Local and non-local checks.
If you deposit both categories of checks, $100.00 from the checks will be available the same day as the day of your deposit, not $100.00 from each category of check.
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
Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
- You deposits checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
- You redeposit a check that that has been returned unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
- 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.
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 days total deposits of cashiers, 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 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 $5,000 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 eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.
