Banking day means that part of any business day on which our physical branch in Hattiesburg, MS is open to the public for carrying on substantially all banking functions, which open hours are also applicable to the time zone of where you physically make your network ATM, retail store agent, or remote deposit. For instance, if the Hattiesburg, MS branch is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Central Time, and you make a retail store agent deposit in Oregon, then your deposit time is from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time, and if you make a retail store agent deposit in Virginia, then your deposit time is 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.
If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.
