We place case-by-case holds at my institution.

I know most of the Reg CC Tools show that for NEW accounts, on non-next-day itmes, we can place an 11 day hold. Can someone point out where I can find that?

All I can find in the reg is a 9 day hold:

(ii) Is subject to the requirements of §229.10(c)(1) (i) through (v) and §229.10(c)(2) only with respect to the first $5,000 of funds deposited on any one banking day; but the amount of the deposit in excess of $5,000 shall be available for withdrawal not later than the ninth business day following the banking day on which funds are deposited; and

I'm not sure what tools you're referring to, but I've always understood that for new account holds on next day items, the amount over $5,000 can be held for 9 days. If the deposit being made qualifies for one of the exception holds (reasonable cause to doubt collectability, large deposit, emergency condition, or repeat overdrafter - I hope not yet!), then you can place that hold instead of the new account hold if it's beneficial to do so.

you can extend a hold on a non-local item for 6 days ... look at 229.13(h) on what a "reasonable time" is defined to mean. the 5 day standard hold + the 6 day reasonable time for
• Large Deposits
• Redeposited Checks
• Repeat Overdrafts
• Reasonable Cause to Doubt Collectibility

Gives you an 11 day hold

Thanks for the responses.

KelseyD - I am referring to the Bankers Tools section of bankersonline.com; specifically this link: Bankers Tools - Reg CC

This specific tool states that for new accounts, both local and non-local checks can get an 11 day hold. I understand why non-local checks can (southerbelle's explaination), but not why a local check would.

I'm just trying to make sure I am understanding the nuances correctly!

There is no specified new account hold duration for local or non-local or on-us checks. Therefore your bank gets to decide. Bonnie apparently puts an 11 biz day hold on both local and non-local checks deposited to new accounts. Your bank should adapt the tool to what your policy calls for.

John is correct, not that I'm assuming you doubted him. A bank can set its own policy for how long it will hold local and non-local checks deposited into new accounts. Our policy is the same as Bonnie's, 11 days for both. My earlier post only addressed the rule for next day items, but I see now that you were questioning the non-next-day items. My apologies!
