Funds Availability Policy Disclosure
PURPOSE OF THIS DISCLOSURE
The information here describes our policy of holding deposited items in a transaction account before funds are made available to you for withdrawal. This is our Funds Availability Policy. In summary our policy is to make your funds available on the second Business Day after the day of deposit. Please refer to the section DETERMINING THE AVAILABILTY OF YOUR DEPOSIT for the complete policy.
For purposes of this disclosure, the terms "you"/"your" refer to the customer and the terms "our"/"we"/"us" refer to MCS Bank. Generally, transaction accounts are accounts which would permit an unlimited number of payments by check to third persons, and also an unlimited number of telephonic and preauthorized transfers to third persons or other accounts you may have with us.
DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSIT
The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we will not pay checks you have written on your account by using these funds. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
When we delay your ability to withraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. The term "Business Day" means any other day other than Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday, and the term "Banking Day" means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions.
If you make a deposit before the close of business 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 the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.
AVAILABILITY SCHEDULE
Same Day Availability. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. In addition, funds from deposits of cash (if made in person to an employee of MCS Bank*), wire transfers, U.S. Treasury checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account), U.S. Postal Service Money Oders ( if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of MCS Bank*), Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of MCS Bank*) State or Local Govermment checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of MCS Bank*), Cahsier's, Certified, or Teller's checks ( if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to and employee of MCS Bank*) , and checks drawn on us will also be available on the day of deposit.
*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 no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit.
Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the second Business Day after the day of your deposit. The fisrst $100.00 of your deposits, however, will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit.
HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS FOR CHECK CASHING
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 avaliable at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been avaliable if you had deposited it and we decided to delay availability on the deposit.
HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS IN ANOTHER ACCOUNT
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 and we decided to delay availability on the deposit.
LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances: (a)if we believe a check you deposit will not be paid; (b) if you deposit checks totaling more that $5,000 on any one day; (c) if you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid; (d) if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or (e) if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the failure of computer or communications equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your availability 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 7 Business Day after the day of your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
DEPOSIT AT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES
If you make a deposit at a automated teller machine (ATM) that is owned and operated by us before the close of business on a Business Day that we are open, we will consider the deposit made that day. However, if you make a deposit at an ATM that is owned and operated by us after the close of business or on a day we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.
