What's the longest a bank can hold your money?

Written by Editorial Team | Last Updated: August 2026

Federal banking regulations, such as the Expedited Funds Availability Act implemented under Regulation CC, govern how long depository institutions can place holds on deposited checks. For standard domestic checks, banks are typically required to make funds available within two business days, though larger deposits, accounts with recent overdraft histories, or checks drawn on foreign institutions can face extended holds ranging from seven to eleven business days. Cash and electronic direct deposits must generally be made available on the next business day.
