Can I hold a treasury check when I don’t know the customer?

Question: 
Can I place a hold on a treasury check at new accounts?
Answer: 

Yes if you use the Special Rules for New Accounts, you can hold anything over $5000 in a checking account for 9 days that is a next day item and treasury checks are next day items. You are still at risk for the first $5000 which is available the next day. If it is not a checking account then Regulaton CC rules do not apply and you can hold it for a reasonable time period.
