In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the same day we process your check. There may be additional holds on deposited items as set forth in the Credit Union's Funds Availability Policy disclosure, as amended from time to time.  However, the first $225.00 of the aggregate amount of your deposit(s) will be available on the same day your deposit(s) is processed. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the same day we process your deposit, you will be notified by mail. We will also tell you when the funds will be available.
