CUT-OFF TIME AND CREDIT TO YOUR ACCOUNT
Deposits received prior to 3:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on a business day the Credit Union is open will be credited to your account on the same business day. Deposits received after 3:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or on any day the Credit Union is not open, including holidays, will be credited on the next business day. Business days are defined as Mondays through Fridays with the exception of federal holidays.
FUNDS AVAILABILITY
Any credit to your account for checks deposited through this Service is provisional. If a check deposited through this Service is dishonored, rejected, or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the image, you agree that an original check will not be returned to you, but that the Credit Union may charge back the amount of the original check and provide you with an image of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check, or a substitute check. You will reimburse the Credit Union for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned check. Without the Credit Union’s approval, you will not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you.
The Credit Union may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely.
The Credit Union’s policy is to make the first $200 in funds from an image of an item you submit through this Service available to you on the first (1st) business day after the day we receive your deposit. The remainder of your funds will be available on the second (2nd) business day after we receive your deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the second (2nd) business day, we will notify you after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
ELIGIBLE ITEMS
You agree to image and deposit only “checks” as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC, Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks (“Regulation CC”) (i.e. drafts drawn on a credit union, savings and loan or bank and payable on demand). When the image of the check transmitted to the Credit Union is converted to an “image replacement document” for subsequent presentment and collection, it will thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
