FUNDS AVAILABIILTY DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTACCEPTANCE OF TERMSThis agreement sets out the Terms and Conditions (Terms) upon which Avidia Bank (Bank) will place a hold on deposits made to your account before funds are available for your withdrawal. This is our Funds Availability Policy and serves as a legally binding agreement between you and the Bank. Please read this Funds Availability Disclosure Agreement carefully and keep a copy for your records. In summary our Policy is to make your funds available on the First Business Day after the day of deposit. Please refer to the section DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSIT for the complete policy. For purposes of this disclosure, the terms "you"/"your" refer to the customer and the terms "our"/"we"/"us" refer to the Savings Bank. The term "account" includes any demand deposit, negotiable withdrawal order account, savings deposit or other asset account. TERMS AND CONDITIONSDETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSITThe length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we will not pay checks you have written on your account by using these funds. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. The term "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday, and the term "Banking Day" means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions. If you make a deposit before the close of business 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 the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open. AVAILABILITY SCHEDULESame Day Availability. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. In addition, funds from deposits of cash (if made in person to an employee of the Savings Bank*), and wire transfers, will also be available on the day of deposit. Next Day Availability. Funds from deposits of U.S. Treasury checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account), U.S. Postal Service Money Orders (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of Avidia Bank"), Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank checks (If payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of Avidia Bank"), State or Local Government checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of Avidia Bank"), Cashier's, Certified, or Teller's checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of Avldia Bank*), and checks drawn on us are available on the first Business Day after the day of your deposit. "If you do not make your deposit in person to one of our employees (for example, if you mail the deposit), funds from these deposits will be available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit. . Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit. HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS FOR CHECK CASHINGIf we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it. HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS IN ANOTHER ACCOUNTIf we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited. LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLYIf you receive an electronic direct deposit as a result of an External Funds Transfer initiated by you while using the Bank’s Consumer Internet Banking application, then those funds will become available two business days after we receive the deposit. In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule. 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. The first $100.00 of your deposits, however, will be available on the same business day. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule, 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 day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances: (a) if we believe a check you deposit will not be paid; (b) if you deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day; (c) if you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid; (d) if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or (e) if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the failure of computer or communications equipment. We will notify you if we delay your availability 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 fifth business day after the day of your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask when the funds will be available. SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTSIf you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is opened.
