Funds Availability

This statement applies to all accounts regarding the availability of funds.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY – YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS

This policy statement applies to all accounts. Our policy is to make funds from your check deposits available to you on the second business day after the day we receive your deposit, with the first $225 available on the day of your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Cash, wire transfers, and some specified check deposits will also be available before the second business day, as, detailed below. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash and we will 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 Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for check(s) you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF A DEPOSIT

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 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 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 post the deposit.

Next-Day Availability - Funds from the following deposits are available on the first business day after the day of your deposit:

  • U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to you
  • Wire transfers
  • Checks or drafts drawn on Actors Federal Credit Union
  • If you make the deposit in person to one of our employees, funds from the following deposits are also available on the first business day after the day of your deposit:
    • Cash
    • State and local government checks that are payable to you
    • 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 Subject to Second-Day Availability

The first $225 from a deposit of checks other than those listed above will be available on the day of your deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the second business day after the day of your deposit. For example, if you deposit a check of $700 on a Monday, $225 of the deposit is available on Monday. The remaining $475 will be available on Wednesday. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds in one of your accounts. Those funds will be available when funds from the check 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:

  • We believe the check you deposited will not be paid
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six (6) 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 (11th) business day after the day of your deposit.

DEPOSITS AT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES AND VIA MOBILE APP

Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate will not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own or operate. Mobile App deposits will not be available until the third business day after the day of your deposit.

SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS

If you are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first thirty (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 $5,525 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 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 $5,525 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 $5,525 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 seventh business day after the day of your deposit.
