Why would there be a 2 WEEK HOLD on a check???
 

they cleared first 100 bucks , why would it be held up till May 1?

If its over 5$ my bank puts a 11 day hold on it. They clear a small amount right away and then another bigger amount in 3 days and the rest in 11 days

here in sweden the fuckers hold for 4 weeks, ive switched to wire or epass for all my sponsors and im very happy with that.

they can do it if they want....usually your bank knows you a bit and they dont though....the tellers here all know me...i make sure im super friendly happy guy at the bank

6 day hold here for me, with nothing released until the cheque clears

is this the first time you have tried to cash a check????????????

cuz they suck a big fat one. in those situations, i'll take the check to the issuers bank and pop it. no one holds my money for 14 days.

My bank has never held funds on me.

it must've been a pretty nice check

what he said :warning

banks are idiots

It is done to prevent fraud:2 cents:

Are you a regular? Have a chat with your manager.

I've gone from paying $AUD35 per cheque with 5-6 weeks clearance (since USD is a foreign currency here) to $AUD15 for an unlimited number of cheques in the same deposit, converted and cleared on the spot - even if it's several thousand dollars. It took a year or two to get there but you can't really do much better than that.
