Consumers deposit funds via ATM and receive a written availability schedule from their bank, only to have funds withheld past the confirmed date. This violates Regulation CC and disproportionately harms lower-income customers who depend on timely access. Banks face minimal enforcement pressure, making the practice structurally persistent.
Banks holding 95% of deposited check funds for 7-10 days
