FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY (Regulation CC)

 

The following information describes the Credit Union’s policy of holding deposited items in a Share Draft Checking account (also known as a “transaction account”) before funds are made available to you for withdrawal. This is what is called a Funds Availability Policy. Generally, transaction accounts are accounts, which would permit an unlimited number of payments by check, telephone, preauthorized transfer, or other order to third parties, or other accounts you may have with us. Funds availability policies for accounts that are not transaction accounts have been described elsewhere in this Agreement.

Your Availability To Withdraw Funds

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 they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written and other electronic debits that are presented for payment.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. If you make a deposit before 5:00 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 after 5:00 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.

Remember, even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned unpaid and any other problems involving your deposit.

Longer Delays May Apply

In some cases, we may not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you by the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. The first $100.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available by the first 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 first business day after we receive your deposit.

If you need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

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

• We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.

• You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000.00 on any one day.

• You/we redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.

• You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.

• 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 or re-deposit.

Special Rules for New Accounts

If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first thirty (30) days your account is open.

Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account may not be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000.00 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 deposits meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,000.00 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 $5,000.00 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.

Funds from all other check deposits will be available by the ninth business day after the day of your deposit unless other exceptions listed in the “Longer Delays May Apply” section above also apply.

Automated Teller Machines And Funds Availability

Financial Plus Federal Credit Union owns and operates many of its own automated teller machines. These are clearly identified as Financial Plus Federal Credit Union machines and can be found at any of our offices, in many of the General Motors facilities the Credit Union serves, and several retail sites. We will keep you informed of changes and additions to these locations.

All deposits made into an automated teller machine after 12:00 noon on weekdays and anytime on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays will be considered received the next business day we are open.

Our policy is to allow availability of funds deposited into Financial Plus Federal Credit Union’s automated teller machines by the next business day after we receive your deposit.

If you deposit funds into your Financial Plus Federal Credit Union accounts through another automated teller machine, one not owned and operated by Financial Plus Federal Credit Union, whether cash or check, the funds may not be available for up to five business days following the day of the deposit.

However, all automated teller machine deposits are subject to the same conditions and exceptions referred to in the “Longer Delays May Apply” and “Special Rules for New Accounts” sections of this Agreement.

Our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and on the last weekday preceding Christmas and New Year’s Day, nor on any day designated for their observance.

If we change our “business days,” we will notify you of the change in advance.
