If i deposit a check on sunday when will it be available

KNOWLEDGE BASE

For us to process your deposit the same day, the deposit needs to be made before 9 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday. Deposits made after 9 p.m. CT or over the weekend are processed the next business day.

Note: Deposits made using mobile check deposit are subject to U.S. Bank’s “Your Deposit Account Agreement” and may not be available for immediate withdrawal. No deposit is complete until we process it and collect the funds. Under normal circumstances, the first $225 is usually available after the deposit is approved for processing.
For check handling instructions and additional information, refer to the mobile check deposit section of the Digital Services Agreement.

Even in an increasingly digital world, checks can still be part of everyday finances for many people. Some people may receive checks frequently, such as their paycheck, while others receive them only occasionally. The deposit of paper checks is handled differently than direct deposits, which are electronically deposited into your account. Here are answers to some common questions about check deposits.

  Tip  

Direct deposit is a secure and convenient way to access recurring income on the day of deposit. It’s available for many income sources including your paycheck, Social Security and retirement plans.

How do I know when my money will be available?

Your deposit receipt generally provides the detail of when the funds will be available to you, including funds that are immediately available, available the next business day, or funds subject to a deposit hold. You can also use our convenient online, and mobile tools to track your deposits and determine your available balance at any time.

Wells Fargo will let you know as quickly as possible whether there will be a hold on a deposited check. If possible, the teller will notify you immediately at the time of deposit and your receipt will show how much of the deposit is being held and when the funds will be available to you. If the deposit is made through a Wells Fargo ATM or with our Wells Fargo Mobile Deposit, you will be informed during the deposit process if a hold will be placed or further review of the deposit is required. The ATM or mobile deposit receipt will display the amount held and when the funds will be available to you. If a hold is based upon information we learn after the deposit, Wells Fargo will notify you by mail, email or through the “Messages & Alerts” feature of Wells Fargo Online®.

Wells Fargo provides its funds availability schedule to all customers when they open an account. Also, you can request a copy of the schedule at any time in our banking locations.

Why would Wells Fargo place a hold on my deposit?

Occasionally, we may place a hold on a deposited check. Our decision to place a hold is frequently based on external information, for example if the paying bank notifies us that your deposited check will be returned unpaid or if you are re-depositing a check that was previously returned unpaid. A hold can also be based on information about your account, such as if an account was recently opened or has experienced frequent overdrafts and returned items.

Holds may seem like an inconvenience, but they actually are a way for us to help protect you from uncertainty and fraud. If a hold is not placed and a check is reversed, you may have already withdrawn all the money only to find that you are responsible for repaying the full amount of the returned check. We want to help you uncover any potential problems with a deposited check before you spend the money.

Wells Fargo is committed to providing information that will help you use your accounts and services effectively. If you have any questions, feel free to visit a Personal Banker in any of our banking locations during normal business hours.

  Tip  

Alerts through Wells Fargo Online are a convenient way for you to be notified of holds that occur after the time of deposit.

FAQ

Funds from direct deposits, cash deposits or wire transfers are generally available the same day they are deposited to your account. In most cases, funds from checks you deposit on a business day (business days exclude Saturday, Sunday and federal holidays) are available to you by the next business day. However, in some cases, funds may take longer before they are available for your use (up to 11 business days). If there is a hold on your deposit, we will notify you of when funds will be available. Please see the Funds Availability Policy in the Regions Bank Deposit Agreement for complete details.


Regions Segments

Will mobile deposits go through on Sunday?

When you make a mobile deposit on the weekend or holiday, the deposit is considered made on the next business day and funds are typically available in one additional business day. (For example, if you make a deposit on a Sunday, the funds will be available on Tuesday.)

How long does it take for a check to clear on the weekend?

The good news is that checks generally clear fairly quickly, usually the day after you deposit the check at your bank (unless you make the deposit on a weekend, in which case you can expect to wait two days for the check to clear.)

Do check deposits clear on weekends?

Do checks clear on Saturdays? Business days don't typically include weekends or holidays. That means a check deposited Friday night after business hours will be treated as if it were deposited Monday morning (if it isn't a holiday). Some financial institutions may advertise extended business hours or days.

Can I cash a check on a Sunday?

Sunday can be a great day for getting all your errands done. But you can't cash a check on Sunday if the check cashing place is closed. If you need to find where you can cash a check on Sunday, you can always use an ATM that accepts checks.
