Banks hold 100% of mobile deposits beyond Reg CC next-day availability limits
Banks routinely place full holds on mobile check deposits in violation of Regulation CC, which requires next-day availability of at least the first $220. When consumers question the hold, branch and phone representatives cannot cite the legal basis for the extended hold or escalate to someone who can. This leaves consumers without access to their own funds and without a fast path to enforce their federal entitlement.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyBank fund holds placed without required written Reg CC notice
BMO Bank and similar institutions place holds on deposited funds for days to weeks without providing the written notice required by Regulation CC, including specific reasons and release dates.

Bank of America 7-Day Hold on Already-Cleared Funds
Long-term Bank of America customers face 7-day holds on deposited funds even after the sending institution confirms the funds have cleared.

Mobile deposit holds placed without explanation or release timeline
USAA places extended holds on mobile deposits with no stated reason and refuses to release funds despite repeated customer service contacts. Single complaint, common bank practice.
Banks holding 95% of deposited check funds for 7-10 days
Banks systematically place excessive holds on deposited checks even after they clear, withholding the majority of funds from customers who depend on timely access. The holds are applied repeatedly to the same customer without explanation. This disproportionately affects users managing tight cash flow who have no alternative while the bank earns float.
Bank AI Hold Decisions Block Cleared Funds With No Human Override
Banks use automated models to place holds on mobile deposits even after funds have cleared the issuing account, with no explanation given to customers and no human escalation path available. The opaque decision-making leaves business customers unable to access verified funds and unable to challenge the hold through any channel. There is no mechanism for the customer to understand or contest the automated decision.
