Funds Availability Disclosure

First Colorado National Bank Expedited Funds Availability Disclosure


Your Availability To Withdraw Funds
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 they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. 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 5:00 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 5:00 or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Remember, even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned unpaid and any other problems involving your deposit.

Longer Delays May Apply
In some cases, we may not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you by 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 second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225.00 may be available on the first business day after we receive your deposit.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available by 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 first business day after we receive your deposit. If you need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

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 $5,525.00 on any one day.
  • You/we 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 seventh 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 $5,525 of a day's total deposits of cashiers, certified, tellers, travelers, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposits meet certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,525 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 $5,525 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.
