Funds Availability Policy

Rite Choice Community Federal Credit Union

Funds Availability Policy

Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the same business day that we receive your deposit. At that time, you can withdraw the funds in cash or we will use the funds to pay checks that 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 3:30 p.m. on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. If you make a deposit after 3:30 p.m., or on a day we are not open, we will consider the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Longer Delays May Apply

In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the same business day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $100 of your deposit will be available to you on the first business day after your deposit is received.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the same 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 funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

The funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

   a. We believe a check you deposited will not be paid.
   b. You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
   c. You deposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
   d. You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six month.
   e. There is an emergency, such as failure of our 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. These funds will generally be available no later than the eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.
