Next Day Clearing

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY DISCLOSURE

YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS

Platinum Federal Credit Union’s policy is to make funds from your check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Cash and Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.

For determining the availability of your deposit, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before the end of business day, 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 end of business day or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. 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 $275 of your deposits, however, will be available on the first business day.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, 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.

In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day
  • You deposit checks not made payable to you
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications equipment

We will notify you if we delay your ability 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 seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

If you are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $6,725 of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s, certified, teller’s, traveler’s and federal, state, and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,000 will be available on the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U. S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.

Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

Funny message
debit

VISA® Debit Card

Instead of writing a check, use the VISA® Debit Card.

  • Purchase goods and services from any merchant who accepts VISA and get cash back
  • Amounts are deducted from your checking account similar to check clearing
  • Use at ATM machines to make deposits and withdrawals to and from your checking account. Using CU24 ATMs is Free to PFCU members. Please note, PFCU belongs to CU24 Here, CU24 Select and Money Pass networks. PFCU does not belong to their Allpoint network.
  • Honored by all merchants that display the VISA® logo
  • It’s fast and convenient

Always choose “Credit”! It’s to your advantage!
When using your VISA® Debit Card for a retail purchase, you will be given a choice between debit (using your PIN) or credit (signature required). Be sure you always choose credit when you do not need cash back.
What’s the difference? In both cases the amount of your purchase will be deducted from your checking account. When you choose “debit”, you are not covered under the zero liability for unauthorized transactions. However, if you push “credit” you have coverage for zero liability on unauthorized transactions.

To Report Lost or Stolen Debit Card, Please call 404-297-9797 option 1.
