TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF YOUR ACCOUNT
AGREEMENT - This document, along
with any other documents we give you pertaining to your account(s), is a contract
that establishes rules which control your account(s) with us. Please read this carefully.
If you sign the signature card or open or continue to have your account with us,
you agree to these rules. You will receive a separate schedule of rates, qualifying
balances, and fees if they are not included in this document. If you have any questions,
please call us.
This agreement is subject to applicable
federal laws and the laws of the state of New Mexico (except to the extent that
this agreement can and does vary such rules or laws). The body of state and federal
law that governs our relationship with you, however, is too large and complex to
be reproduced here. The purpose of this document is to:
- summarize some laws that apply to common
transactions;
- establish rules to cover transactions
or events which the law does not regulate;
- establish rules for certain transactions
or events which the law regulates but permits variation by agreement; and
- give you disclosures of some of
our policies to which you may be entitled or in which you may be interested.
If any provision of this document is found
to be unenforceable according to its terms, all remaining provisions will continue
in full force and effect. We may permit some variations from our standard agreement,
but we must agree to any variation in writing either on the signature card for your
account or in some other document.
As used in this document the words
"we," "our," and "us" mean the financial institution and the words "you" and "your"
mean the account holder(s) and anyone else with the authority to deposit, withdraw,
or exercise control over the funds in the account. The headings in this document
are for convenience or reference only and will not govern the interpretation of
the provisions. Unless it would be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used
in this document should be construed so the singular includes the plural and the
plural includes the singular. "Party" means a person who, by the terms of an account,
has a present right, subject to request, to payment from the account other than
as a beneficiary or agent.
LIABILITY - You agree, for yourself
(and the person or entity you represent if you sign as a representative of another)
to the terms of this account and the schedule of charges.
You
authorize us to deduct these charges directly from the account balance as accrued.
You will pay any additional reasonable charges for services you request which are
not covered by this agreement.
Each of you also agrees to be jointly and severally
(individually) liable for any account shortage resulting from charges or overdrafts,
whether caused by you or another with access to this account. This liability is
due immediately, and can be deducted directly from the account balance whenever
sufficient funds are available. You have no right to defer payment of this liability,
and you are liable regardless of whether you signed the item or benefited from the
charge or overdraft. This includes liability for our costs to collect the deficit
including, to the extent permitted by law, our reasonable attorneys' fees.
DEPOSITS - We will give only
provisional credit until collection is final for any items, other than cash, we
accept for deposit (including items drawn "on us"). Actual credit for deposits of,
or payable in, foreign currency will be at the exchange rate in effect on final
collection in U.S. dollars. We are not responsible for transactions by mail or outside
depository until we actually record them. We will treat and record all transactions
received after our "daily cutoff time" on a business day we are open, or received
on a day we are not open for business, as if initiated on the next following business
day that we are open. Time or savings account deposits will be repaid to depositors
under regulations adopted by our board of directors from time to time. These regulations
will be available for inspection by you upon your request.
WITHDRAWALS - Unless clearly
indicated otherwise on the account records, any of you, acting alone, who signs
in the space designated for signatures on the signature card may withdraw or transfer
all or any part of the account balance at any time. Each of you (until we receive
written notice to the contrary) authorizes each other person signing the signature
card to indorse any item payable to you or your order for deposit to this account
or any other transaction with us. We may charge your account for a check even though
payment was made before the date of the check, unless we have received written notice
of the postdating in time to have a reasonable opportunity to act. We may refuse
any withdrawal or transfer request which you attempt on forms not approved by us,
by any method we do not specifically permit, which is greater in number than the
frequency permitted, or which is for an amount greater or less than any withdrawal
limitations. Even if we honor a nonconforming request, we may treat continued abuse
of the stated limitations (if any) as your act of closing the account. We will use
the date the transaction is completed by us (as opposed to the date you initiate
it) to apply the frequency limitations. The fact that we may honor withdrawal requests
that overdraw the available account balance does not obligate us to do so later.
See the funds availability policy disclosure for information about when you can
withdraw funds you deposit. For those accounts for which our funds availability
policy disclosure does not apply, you can ask us when you make a deposit when those
funds will be available for withdrawal.
We may require not less than 7 days'
notice in writing before each withdrawal from an interest-bearing account other
than a time deposit, or from any other savings account as defined by Regulation
D. Withdrawals from a time account prior to maturity or prior to any notice period
may be restricted and may be subject to penalty. See your notice of penalty for
early withdrawal.
OWNERSHIP OF ACCOUNT AND BENEFICIARY
DESIGNATION - These rules apply to this account depending on the form of ownership
and beneficiary designation, if any, specified on the account records. We make no
representations as to the appropriateness or effect of the ownership and beneficiary
designations, except as they determine to whom we pay the account funds.
Single-Party Account - Such
an account is owned by one party.
Multiple-Party Account - Parties
own account in proportion to net contributions unless there is clear and convincing
evidence of a different intent.
RIGHTS AT DEATH - Single-Party Account
- At the death of a party, ownership passes as part of the party's estate.
Multiple-Party Account With Right
of Survivorship - At death of party, ownership passes to surviving parties.
If two or more parties survive and one is the surviving spouse of the deceased party,
the amount to which the deceased party, immediately before death, was beneficially
entitled by law belongs to the surviving spouse. If two or more parties survive
and none is the spouse of the decedent, the amount to which the deceased party,
immediately before death, was beneficially entitled by law belongs to the surviving
parties in equal shares, and augments the proportion to which each surviving party,
immediately before the deceased party's death, was beneficially entitled under law,
and the right of survivorship continues between the surviving parties.
Multiple-Party Account Without Right
of Survivorship - At death of party, deceased party's ownership passes as part
of deceased party's estate.
Single-Party Account With Pay-on-Death
Designation - At death of the party, ownership passes to the designated pay-on-death
beneficiaries and is not part of the party's estate.
Multiple-Party Account With Right
of Survivorship and Pay-on-Death Designation - At death of last surviving party,
ownership passes to the designated pay-on-death beneficiaries and is not part of
the last surviving party's estate.
BUSINESS ACCOUNTS - Earnings
in the form of interest, dividends, or credits will be paid only on collected funds,
unless otherwise provided by law or our policy. We may require the governing body
of the legal entity opening the account to give us a separate authorization telling
us who is authorized to act on its behalf. We will honor the authorization until
we actually receive written notice of a change from the governing body of the legal
entity.
STOP PAYMENTS - You must make any stop-payment
order in the manner required by law and we must receive it in time to give us a
reasonable opportunity to act on it before our stop-payment cutoff time. To be effective,
your stop-payment order must precisely identify the number, date and amount of the
item, and the payee.
You may stop payment on any item drawn on your
account whether you sign the item or not, if you have an equal or greater right
to withdraw from this account than the person who signed the item. A release of
the stop-payment request may be made only by the person who initiated the stop-payment
order.
Our stop-payment cutoff time is one
hour after the opening of the next banking day after the banking day on which we
receive the item. Additional limitations on our obligation to stop payment are provided
by law (e.g., we paid the item in cash or we certified the item).
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS - A telephone
transfer of funds from this account to another account with us, if otherwise arranged
for or permitted, may be made by the same persons and under the same conditions
generally applicable to withdrawals made in writing. Unless a different limitation
is disclosed in writing, we restrict the number of transfers from a savings account
to another account or to third parties, to a maximum of six per month (less the
number of "preauthorized transfers" during the month). Other account transfer restrictions
may be described elsewhere.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION -
We may change any term of this agreement. Rules governing changes in interest rates
are provided separately. For other changes, we will give you reasonable notice in
writing or by any other method permitted by law. We may also close this account
at any time upon reasonable notice to you and tender of the account balance personally
or by mail. Notice from us to any one of you is notice to all of you.
STATEMENTS - You must examine
your statement of account with "reasonable promptness." If you discover (or reasonably
should have discovered) any unauthorized signatures or alterations, you must promptly
notify us of the relevant facts. As between you and us, if you fail to do either
of these duties, you will have to either share the loss with us, or bear the loss
entirely yourself (depending on whether we used ordinary care and, if not, whether
we substantially contributed to the loss). The loss could be not only with respect
to items on the statement but other items with unauthorized signatures or alterations
by the same wrongdoer.
You agree that the time you have to
examine your statement and report to us will depend on the circumstances, but will
not, in any circumstance, exceed a total of 30 days from when the statement is first
sent or made available to you.
You further agree that if you fail
to report any unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries, or any other errors
in your account within 60 days of when we first send or make the statement available,
you cannot assert a claim against us on any items in that statement, and as between
you and us the loss will be entirely yours. This 60-day limitation is without regard
to whether we used ordinary care. The limitation in this paragraph is in addition
to that contained in the first paragraph of this section.
ACCOUNT TRANSFER - This account
may not be transferred or assigned without our prior written consent.
DIRECT DEPOSITS - If, in connection
with a direct deposit plan, we deposit any amount in an account which should have
been returned to the Federal Government for any reason, you authorize us to deduct
the amount of our liability to the Federal Government from the account or from any
other account you have with us, without prior notice and at any time, except as
prohibited by law. We may also use any other legal remedy to recover the amount
of our liability.
TEMPORARY ACCOUNT AGREEMENT -
If this option is selected, this is a temporary account agreement. Each person who
signs in the space designated for signatures on the signature card (except as indicated
to the contrary) may transact business on this account. However, we may at some
time in the future restrict or prohibit further use of this account if you fail
to comply with the requirements we have imposed within a reasonable time.
SETOFF - We may (without prior
notice and when permitted by law) set off the funds in this account against any
due and payable debt you owe us now or in the future, by any of you having the right
of withdrawal, to the extent of such persons' or legal entity's right to withdraw.
If the debt arises from a note, "any due and payable debt" includes the total amount
of which we are entitled to demand payment under the terms of the note at the time
we set off, including any balance the due date for which we properly accelerate
under the note.
This right of setoff does not apply
to this account if: (a) it is an IRA or other tax-deferred retirement account, or
(b) the debt is created by a consumer credit transaction under a credit card plan
(but this does not affect our rights under any consensual security interest), or
(c) the debtor's right of withdrawal only arises in a representative capacity. We
will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because
we set off a debt against this account. You agree to hold us harmless from any claim
arising as a result of our exercise of our right of setoff.
AGENCY (Power of Attorney) DESIGNATION
(Single-Party Accounts only) - A single individual is the owner. The agent is
merely designated to conduct transactions on the owner's behalf. We undertake no
obligation to monitor transactions to determine that they are on the owner's behalf.
RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS - We are
not required to honor any restrictive legend on checks you write unless we have
agreed in writing to the restriction. Examples of restrictive legends are "must
be presented within 90 days" or "not valid for more than $1,000.00."
PAYMENT ORDER OF ITEMS - The law permits us to pay items (such
as checks or drafts) drawn on your account in any order. To assist you in handling
your account with us, we are providing you with the following information regarding
how we process the items that you write. When processing items drawn on your account,
our policy is to pay them according to the dollar amount. We pay the largest items
first. The order in which items are paid is important if there is not enough money
in your account to pay all of the items that are presented. Our payment policy will
cause your largest, and perhaps more important, items to be paid first (such as
your rent or mortgage payment), but may increase the overdraft or NSF fees you have
to pay if funds are not available to pay all of the items. If an item is presented
without sufficient funds in your account to pay it, we may, at our discretion, pay
the item (creating an overdraft) or return the item (NSF). The amounts of the overdraft
and NSF fees are disclosed elsewhere. We encourage you to make careful records and
practice good account management. This will help you to avoid writing checks or
drafts without sufficient funds and incurring the resulting fees.
ACH AND WIRE TRANSFERS - This agreement
is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code - Fund Transfers as adopted
in the state in which you have your account with us. If you originate a fund transfer
for which Fedwire is used, and you identify by name and number a beneficiary financial
institution, an intermediary financial institution or a beneficiary, we and every
receiving or beneficiary financial institution may rely on the identifying number
to make payment. We may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution,
person or account other than the one named. You agree to be bound by automated clearing
house association rules. These rules provide, among other things, that payments
made to you, or originated by you, are provisional until final settlement is made
through a Federal Reserve Bank or payment is otherwise made as provided in Article
4A-403(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code. If we do not receive such payment, we
are entitled to a refund from you in the amount credited to your account and the
party originating such payment will not be considered to have paid the amount so
credited. If we receive a credit to an account you have with us by wire or ACH,
we are not required to give you any notice of the payment order or credit.
--------------------------
ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS
YOUR RIGHTS
AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Indicated below are types of Electronic Fund
Transfers we are capable of handling, some of which may not apply to your account.
Please read this disclosure carefully because it tells you your rights and obligations
for the transactions listed. You should keep this notice for future reference.
Electronic Fund Transfers Initiated By
Third Parties. You may authorize a third party to initiate electronic fund transfers
between your account and the third party's account. These transfers to make or receive
payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers
may use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization
to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. For example,
your authorization to convert a check to an electronic fund transfer or to electronically
pay a returned check charge can occur when a merchant provides you with notice and
you go forward with the transaction (typically, at the point of purchase, a merchant
will post a sign and print the notice on a receipt). In all cases, these third party
transfers will require you to provide the third party with your account number and
bank information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit
or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your bank and account information
(whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third
parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic fund transfers. Examples
of these transfers include, but are not limited to:
- Preauthorized credits.
You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits (such as U.S. Treasury
(Social Security)) to be accepted into your checking or savings account(s).
- Preauthorized payments.
You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills from your checking
or savings account(s).
- Electronic check conversion.
You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment
from your checking account using information from your check to pay for purchases
or pay bills.
- Electronic returned check
charge. You may authorize a merchant or other payee to initiate an electronic
funds transfer to collect a charge in the event a check is returned for insufficient
funds.
ATM Transfers - types of transfers and
dollar limitations - You may access your account(s) by ATM using your Debit
Card and personal identification number, to:
- get cash withdrawals from checking
or saving account(s) with an ATM card
- you may withdraw no more than $300.00
per day
- transfer funds from savings
to checking account(s)
- transfer funds from checking
to savings account(s)
- get information about:
- the account balance of your checking
or saving accounts
Some of these services may not be available
at all terminals.
Types of Debit Card Point-of-Sale
Transactions - You may access your checking account(s) to purchase goods (in
person, online, or by phone), pay for services (in person, online, or by phone),
get cash from a merchant, if the merchant permits, or from a participating financial
institution, and do anything that a participating merchant will accept.
Currency Conversion. When you use your
Debit Card at a merchant that settles in currency other than US dollars, the charge
will be converted into the US dollar amount. The currency conversion rate used to
determine the transaction amount in US dollars is either a rate selected by Visa
from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable
central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives,
or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing
date. The conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate
in effect on the transaction date or posting date.
Advisory Against Illegal Use. You agree
not to use your card(s) for illegal gambling or other illegal purpose. Display of
a payment card logo by, for example, an online merchant does not necessarily mean
that transactions are lawful in all jurisdictions in which the cardholder may be
located.
FEES
- We do not charge for direct
deposits to any type of account.
Except as indicated elsewhere, we do not charge
for these electronic fund transfers.
ATM Operator/Network Fees. When you
use an ATM not owned by us, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator or any
network used (and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do
not complete a fund transfer).
DOCUMENTATION
- Terminal transfers. You can
get a receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your account using one
of our automated teller machines or point-of-sale terminals.
- Preauthorized credits.
If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once
every 60 days from the same person or company, the person or company making the
deposit will tell you every time they send us the money.
- Preauthorized credits.
If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once
every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at 505-821-9854 to
find out whether or not the deposit has been made.
- Periodic statements.
You will get a monthly account statement from
us for your checking accounts.
You will get a monthly account statement
from us for your savings accounts, unless there are no transfers in a particular
month. In any case, you will get a statement at least quarterly.
PREAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS
- Right to stop payment and procedure
for doing so. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of
your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here is how:
Call or write us at the telephone number or
address listed in this brochure in time for us to receive your request 3 business
days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also
require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after
you call.
We will charge you $17.00 for each
stop-payment order you give.
- Notice of varying amounts. If
these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will
tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will
be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ
by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would
fall outside certain limits that you set.)
- Liability for failure to
stop payment of preauthorized transfer. If you order us to stop one of these
payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not
do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION'S LIABILITY
Liability for failure to make transfers.
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct
amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or
damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not
have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
- If you have an overdraft line and
the transfer would go over the credit limit.
- If the automated teller machine
where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
- If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown
when you started the transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such
as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have
taken.
- There may be other exceptions stated
in our agreement with you.
CONFIDENTIALITY
We will disclose information to third parties
about your account or the transfers you make:
- where it is necessary for completing transfers;
or
- in order to verify the existence
and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
or
- in order to comply with government
agency or court orders; or
- as explained in the Privacy Disclosure
contained elsewhere in this document.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
(a) Consumer liability.
Generally. Tell us AT
ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, or if you believe
that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information
from your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down.
You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of
credit). If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft
of your card and/or code, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card
and/or code without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business
days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove
we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code without your permission
if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers
that you did not make, including those made by card, code or other means, tell us
at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to
you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that
we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip
or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
Additional Limit on Liability
for Debit Card. Unless you have been grossly negligent or have engaged in fraud,
you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen
Debit Card. This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions
or to transactions using your Personal Identification Number which are not processed
by VISA®.
(b) Contact in event of unauthorized
transfer. If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, call
or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure. You should
also call the number or write to the address listed in this brochure if you believe
a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.
ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE
In Case of Errors or Questions About Your
Electronic Transfers, Call or Write us at the telephone number or address listed
in this brochure, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is
wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or
receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement
on which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and account number (if
any).
- Describe the error or the transfer
you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an
error or why you need more information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the
suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that
you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error
occurred within 10 business days (5 business days for Debit Card point-of-sale transactions
and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from
you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take
up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction,
or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we
decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (5 business
days for Debit Card point-of-sale transactions and 20 business days if the transfer
involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have
the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.
If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive
it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account. Your account is considered
a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each
of you already has an established account with us before this account is opened.
We will tell you the results within
three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there
was no error, we will send you a written explanation.
You may ask for copies of the documents
that we used in our investigation.

--------------------------
YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS
This policy statement applies to all deposit
accounts.
Our policy is to make funds from your
cash and check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day
we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day
we receive the deposit. 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 checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other
problems involving your 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 3:00 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 3:00 P.M. or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit
was made on the next business day we are open.
If we cash a check for you that is
drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount
of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the
time funds from the check we 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
Case-by-case delays. In some cases,
we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on
the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check
that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after
the day of your deposit. The first $100 of your deposits, however, may be available
on the first business day.
If we are not going to make all of
the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will notify
you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will
be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if
we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you
the notice by the day 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.
Safeguard exceptions. In addition,
funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following
circumstances:
- We believe a check you deposit will not be
paid.
- You deposit checks totaling more than
$5,000 on any one day.
- You redeposit a check that has been
returned unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly
in the last six 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 business
day after the day of your deposit.
SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS
If you are a new customer, the following special
rules will apply during the first 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 $5,000 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 $5,000
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 $5,000 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 tenth business day after the day of your deposit.
