TCF is relatively new to Colorado Springs. Imagine my surprise when a deposit of a corporate check for $8,000 was "held" (Funds not Available) for five (5) business days! Talk about playing the "float"! Even in this world of "electronic banking", 5 days is ridiculous!

My bank holds upto 5k to 5 days.

Anything else more than 5k is 6 days. I think they're required to hold at least 5 days for 5k...unless you're a really good customer or something...

TCF bank in MI makes, at least, small check deposits (<$1000?) available immediately.

My UnionPlanters bank (recently acquired by Regions Bank) held a $200,000 check of mine for TWO WEEKS before funds were available for me.....that's more than $250 in interest at 3.5%!

Check the interest calculations...I say banks 'take your time' - on bank to bank transfers, say pulling money from one bank to the other - the pulling bank usually starts adding intrerest the day of the initiated pull (if compounded daily) and the other bank also pays interest on the same money until it "clears" - so for that 5 days...you can collect interest from both banks on the same money - start your transfers just before a bank holiday....:
