Non-local personal and business checks. If the check is from a bank in a different federal reserve district than the depositing bank, it can be held for 5 business days under normal circumstances. Exceptions for new customers during the first 30 days. Banks are not required to give next day ability on the first $100 of deposits, and both local and non-local personal and business checks can be held for a maximum of 11 business days. For items typically available on the next day, the first $5000 must be released on the next business day, but any amount over $5000 can be held for 9 business days.
I wanted to cash the check to avoid my bank holding the funds, once deposited, forever and ever. I ended up having to deposit the funds at my bank. I canât find anything on the Internet that specifically outlines how long a bank can truly, and legally, hold up your funds. Two banks have told me that federal law prohibits any deposits from being held more than seven business days â my bank is holding 90% of the funds for 11 business days. While I am no expert, Iâd bet that my bank will have the funds from the check-issuing bank within three to five business days.
