Summary of DCU Funds Availability


Following is an availability schedule associated with deposits made to your DCU Account. Local and non-local refer to the location of a check's paying institution relative to the location where you deposit the check. Local means both are within the same Federal Reserve district.
The expiration of the hold period, and subsequent availability of the deposited funds in your DCU account does not necessarily mean the deposited item has in fact cleared the account against which it was drawn. To confirm this you must contact the paying bank. If any item you cash or deposit with us is returned unpaid by the paying bank, we may debit from your account both the amount of the item and the applicable fee as listed in your Schedule of Fees and Service Charges.
For DCU's complete Funds Availability Policy, see Part IV of the Truth In Savings Disclosure and Account Agreements.
