This means if you deposit a check on Monday, the funds should be available in your account by Wednesday, assuming both days are business days (not weekends or holidays).<\/p>\n<p>Federal regulations require banks to make the first $225 available by the next business day for most deposits. The remaining balance follows the bank\u2019s standard hold policy, usually releasing within 2 business days. However, this rule doesn\u2019t apply to new accounts within their first 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bankrate\u2019s analysis of major bank policies, most financial institutions follow this 2-day standard, though specific timing can vary based on when the check is deposited and individual bank policies.<\/p>\n<h2 data-position=\"2\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-2-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"How do different deposit methods affect clearing time?\" data-outcome=\"\">How do different deposit methods affect clearing time?<\/h2>\n<h3>In-person branch deposits<\/h3>\n<p>Depositing a check in person at a bank branch is often the fastest method. If deposited before the bank\u2019s cutoff time (which cannot be earlier than 2 p.m. by federal law), the check typically becomes available within 1 to 2 business days.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few factors that might cause a check to clear faster than two days. Banks are generally required by law to make the first $225 of a check deposit available by the next business day. For example, if the check is deposited on a weekend, it\u2019s considered to be deposited on Monday, so the first $225 of the check will be available on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Mobile check deposit<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Mobile check deposit, which allows you to deposit a check by taking photos of it through your bank\u2019s mobile app, typically takes the same amount of time as an in-person deposit, though it may take a bit longer to process in some cases.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile check deposits come with cut-off times, too. At Bank of America, for example, a mobile check must be deposited by 9 p.m. ET (for Eastern and Central time zones) or 8 p.m. PT (for Mountain and Pacific time zones) for it to clear by the next business day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>ATM deposits<\/h3>\n<p>ATM deposits at your own bank typically clear within 2 business days. Deposits at ATMs owned by other banks may take longer \u2014 up to 5 business days in some cases.<\/p>\n<h2 data-position=\"3\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-3-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Which types of checks clear faster?\" data-outcome=\"\">Which types of checks clear faster?<\/h2>\n<p>Some checks are designed to clear more quickly because they carry lower risk:<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full overflow-x-auto\">\n<table class=\"wp-block-table has-fixed-layout wrapped\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Check type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Typical check clearing time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Why it\u2019s faster<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Government checks (federal, state, local)<\/td>\n<td>1 business day<\/td>\n<td>Backed by government funds <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\nCashier\u2019s checks <\/td>\n<td>1 business day <\/td>\n<td>Prepaid and guaranteed by the bank <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\nCertified checks <\/td>\n<td>1 business day <\/td>\n<td>Funds verified and set aside before issuing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Checks from the same financial institution<\/td>\n<td>1 business day <\/td>\n<td>Internal transfer with immediate verification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standard business\/personal checks <\/td>\n<td>2 business days <\/td>\n<td>Requires verification with issuing bank<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"editorial-insight-box --insight-box +mg-vertical-md\" data-template=\"insight_box\">\n<div class=\"card-body border-l-4 border-blue-800\">\n<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"content wysiwyg wysiwyg--flush\">\n<p>\u201cI recommend using a cashier\u2019s check for large transactions, especially if you need or want to give the recipient immediate access to the money. While cashier\u2019s checks usually come with a small fee ($10-15), it eliminates the waiting period and provides extra certainty that the funds won\u2019t bounce.\u201d \u2014 Hanna Horvath, CFP &amp; Bankrate Banking Editor<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2 id=\"reasons-delayed\" data-position=\"4\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-4-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Reasons your check deposit might be delayed\" data-outcome=\"\"><b>Reasons your check deposit might be delayed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If a check is taking longer to clear than your bank\u2019s typical processing time, it\u2019s probably because the bank placed an extended hold on it. The bank will likely notify you of any holds on the deposit receipt (if the check is deposited at a branch) or the deposit confirmation screen (if the check is deposited through an app). The institution may also notify you by text notification, email or mail if a hold comes up after the time of deposit.<\/p>\n<p>Some reasons a financial institution may extend a check\u2019s hold include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There\u2019s reasonable cause to believe the funds are uncollectible (such as suspected fraud).<\/li>\n<li>The check has been redeposited.<\/li>\n<li>The check amount exceeds $5,525. (Note: Only the amount that\u2019s over $5,525 can be held for longer.)<\/li>\n<li>The receiving account is new or has been repeatedly overdrawn.<\/li>\n<li>The check is from an international bank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In these cases, the financial institution may hold the check for up to a week, after which the funds will clear or the check will bounce.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"alternatives\" data-position=\"5\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-5-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Other ways to send money to someone\" data-outcome=\"\"><b>Other ways to send money to someone<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few alternatives for sending money that are quicker than depositing a check.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<b>Wire transfer:<\/b> If a domestic wire transfer is initiated before the institution\u2019s cut-off time, then the funds are typically available in the recipient\u2019s account within the same day. Wire transfers typically come with high fees, though. A domestic outgoing wire transfer fee averages about $26, according to Bankrate\u2019s research.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Money order<\/b><b>:<\/b> Though similar in appearance to a check, money orders are paid upfront and are guaranteed not to bounce due to insufficient funds. Since the money order is prepaid, there\u2019s no waiting period for funds to clear, and the recipient can often access the funds immediately upon cashing it.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Zelle<\/b><b>:<\/b> Over 2,000 financial institutions offer Zelle through their mobile apps or online banking system. It\u2019s a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment service that allows you to digitally send and receive money, typically within minutes.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Other P2P services:<\/b> If you or the other person involved in the transfer can\u2019t access Zelle through your bank, consider using a third-party P2P payment app, such as Venmo or PayPal.
