FYI
Our Hold Funds Policy
When you deposit a cheque to your personal deposit account, either at a branch or through the Green Machine® ATM, you may not be able to access the full amount of the
funds from that deposit immediately, if that deposit is subject to a "hold". For any deposits made through the Green Machine ATM that are subject to a hold, the "hold period"
will commence on the first business day after the deposit is made. For full details on our hold funds policy, please ask at any TD Canada Trust branch. Your access to those
funds, or a portion of them, will be restricted. You will not be able to withdraw money from those funds being held, and we will not pay any of your cheques or pre-authorized
debits from those funds until the end of the hold period.
Hold funds decisions will be different for each customer. We will take into account factors such as the length of time you have dealt with TD Canada Trust and the amount of
funds already in your account. The decision will also vary depending on the institution on which the cheque has been drawn, as well as the amount and the issuer of the cheque.
Deposits subject to a hold will be held for the following number of business days:
Minimum Maximum
· Cheques drawn on TD Canada Trust 3 6
· Cheques drawn on another Canadian financial institution - 5 7
unknown or unencoded 7 14
· Cheques drawn on a U.S. institution* 15 30
· Cheques drawn on other foreign financial institutions* 22 40
When you enroll in a direct deposit program, no hold is placed on the money deposited because it is credited directly to your account.
* These hold periods are estimates and apply where we have credited the funds to your account. We may extend such hold periods if payment for the cheque has not been
received by us from the U.S. or foreign financial institution within that initial maximum hold period. Some cheques may be sent on "collection" - this means that the funds will
be credited to your account only if and when the cheque clears. |
