Processing Policies
Posting Order
The order in which withdrawals and deposits are processed

We process and post transactions - both credits (including deposits) and debits - throughout the day. This approach allows us to more closely match the posting of transactions on your account with the timing of your actual account activity.

Note: Deposits received and posted late in the day will not cover payments and withdrawals posted earlier the same day.
Summary of Our Deposit
Hold Policy
This is a summary and generally applies when deposit amount is less than $5,525 - absent a deposit hold. See the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement, Funds Availability Disclosure, for a detailed description of our deposit hold policy.
  • Cash deposit with teller or at ATM - Same business day as the day of deposit
  • Direct Deposit/wire transfer - Same business day as the day of deposit
  • Check deposit with teller or at ATM - same business day as the day of deposit
  • If something causes a longer hold on a deposit listed above, the first $225 of that deposit will generally be made available the same business day as the day of deposit
  • Mobile Deposit - Within 5 business days or less. Date displayed in mobile application.

A "business day" is a non-holiday weekday. At branches, business days end at closing time. At ATMs, business days end no earlier than 8:30 p.m.
Dispute Resolution
Dispute Resolution Agreement

If a dispute arises between us, either party may require that it be resolved through arbitration, rather than through jury trial. Please see the arbitration and waiver of jury trial provisions in your Consumer Deposit Account Agreement for additional details.

HOW INTEREST IS EARNED ON YOUR ACCOUNT
The daily balance method is used to calculate the interest on the account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the daily collected balance in the account each day. For tiered rate accounts, the rate corresponding to your daily Collected Balance will be applied to your entire daily Collected Balance. Interest on deposits begins to accrue no later than the business day on which we receive credit for the deposit. Accrued interest that is credited to the balance in the account on the first business day of the following statement cycle. Accrued interest that is credited to the balance in the account begins to earn interest no later than the next business day and compounds with each statement cycle. If you close your account or convert your account to a non-interest earning account before accrued interest, if any, is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. A taxpayer identification number will be required to earn interest on these accounts.

The following chart shows the annual percentage yield and interest rate effective as of October 1, 2020. Interest rates and the annual percentage yield are variable and at our discretion, we may change the interest rate for your account at any time. Rates may change prior to funding and any interest being earned.
