Good Afternoon,
I have been trying to research this issue for awhile, but I cannot find any specific answer.

Is it permitted to put both an exception hold AND a case-by-case hold on the same item? For example, the large dollar exception hold states that $5,000 must be made available next day. If a customer deposits a $25,000 check and I put the large dollar hold on, can I then put a case-by-case hold on that $5,000 in order to make only $200 available next day and then $4,800 available in two business days and the rest available after five business days?

I would be under the impression that this is not acceptable, but I can't find anything specific stating as such.
Thank you

Welcome to the BOL forums, jmerlina!

Using both a case-by-case and special exception (like the large deposit exception) hold together is permitted and a very common practice for some financial institutions.

In your example of both a case-by-case and a large deposit special exception hold, $200 would need to be available by the next day, $4,800 by the second day (assuming the items is not a next day item), and $20,000 after 7 days (5 exception days plus two case-by-case days).

it is one item, you may not use 2 holds on it. the $5,000 you use as an example is not a separate deposit that allows for further hold to be placed.
