You see a deposit hold on a check for $1200. Upon further research, you see the hold reason says:
"Deposit Hold Local Check." Based on the hold description, can we evaluate this check to be released early? Yes or No.

Yes.

The deposit hold is eligible to evaluate for early release. But first tell the client:

  • A standard hold has been placed on the deposit to help protect you and the bank from losses in the event the check is returned unpaid.
  • We are in the process of validating the check and collecting the funds.
  • In the future, using options such as direct deposit or mobile and online transfers is a great way to get access to your funds faster.
  • The funds will be available on [date] [time].
  • Information can also be viewed on the hold notice, online, ATM receipt or mobile deposit screen.

Claudia, a new Bank of America client, deposited a check into her account which is now on an extended hold for 7 days. The client has money in her other accounts to pay her bills, but thinks it's ridiculous that we would hold a check that's only $15,000. She would like us to remove the hold immediately. Can we evaluate this check to be released early? How would you respond to the client?

The deposit hold is eligible to evaluate for early release.

During the first 30 days of an account, New Account deposit holds may be placed before you have an established relationship with the bank.

We are in the process of validating the check and collecting the funds.

In the future, using options such as direct deposit or mobile and online transfers is a great way to get access to your funds faster.

The funds will be available on [date] [time].

Information can also be viewed on the hold notice, online, ATM receipt or mobile deposit screen.
