A deposit hold is a temporary delay placed by a bank on the availability of funds from a deposited check.

Here are the key things to know about deposit holds:

Reasons for Deposit Holds

Banks may place holds on check deposits for several reasons:

  • Verify funds: To ensure the check writer has sufficient funds to cover the amount.
  • New accounts: Holds are more common on accounts less than 30 days old.
  • Large deposits: Checks over $5,525 or exceeding your account balance are more likely to be held.
  • Account history: Frequent overdrafts increase the likelihood of holds.
  • Redeposited checks: Checks previously returned unpaid may face longer holds.
  • Suspected fraud: If the bank suspects the check may be fraudulent.
  • Emergency situations: Natural disasters or system outages may result in holds.

Duration of Holds

  • Most checks should be processed within 2 business days under normal circumstances.
  • Holds can last up to 7 business days in certain cases.
  • The first $225 of a deposit must be available by the next business day.
  • For amounts between $226 and $5,525, funds should be available within 2 business days.
  • Amounts over $5,525 may be held for up to 7 business days.

Bank Responsibilities

  • Banks must disclose their funds availability policy to customers.
  • You should receive prompt notice of any deposit hold.
  • If you didn't receive notice and the check clears, the bank should refund any related fees.

Avoiding Holds

To reduce the likelihood of holds:

  • Use direct deposit for paychecks when possible.
  • Consider cash or cashier's checks for faster availability.
  • Build a positive account history with your bank.
  • Be aware of your bank's specific policies on holds.
Remember, deposit holds are designed to protect both you and the bank from potential issues with check deposits. If you have concerns about a specific hold, contact your bank for more information.


At HomePride Bank, we strive to make your funds available as quickly as possible.

Generally, deposits are available by the next business day. However, in some cases, we may place a hold on your deposit:

  • The first $225 of your deposit will typically be available by the next business day.
  • For deposits between $226 and $5,525, funds should be available within 2 business days.
  • Deposits over $5,525 may be held for up to 7 business days.
Factors that may affect hold times include the type of check, your account history, and the amount of the deposit. For faster access to your funds, consider using direct deposit or electronic transfers. If you need immediate access to your funds, please speak with a teller before making your deposit, as they may be able to assist you. For more details, please refer to our Funds Availability Policy, which we provide when you open an account and is available in our branches.
