Order in Which Checks and Other Items are Paid. In general, we pay checks and other transactions in the order in which they are presented to us for payment, regardless of when you issued or authorized them. Insufficient balances on your account may result from 1) checks, 2) automated clearing house (ACH) debits such as online xxxx payment transactions, 3) payments authorized by an owner or other withdrawal requests, 4) items deposited by an owner and returned unpaid by the paying institution, and 5) imposition of service charges. Checks and ACH debits may be presented to us in batches or data files, and are paid when we process the data file. Checks in the same data file are processed in high to low order. Checks presented for payment at one of our branches are processed at the time of payment. Debit card transactions are processed when they are transmitted to us, which may occur at the time of the transaction or up to several days later. The merchant or its processor determines when the transaction will be transmitted to us. When a merchant obtains authorization for a debit card transaction, we place a temporary hold against the funds in the account for the amount of the authorized transaction. In some cases, such as restaurants, gas stations, or car rental transactions, there may be a hold for an initially authorized amount, but the transaction is submitted at a different amount. You should be certain there are enough funds in your account at all times to pay checks or other transactions you authorize, or those checks or transactions will be handled according to the over- draft and insufficient funds terms of this Agreement, or paid under one of our check overdraft services if applicable. You agree that we may change these practices at any time without prior notice to you to address data processing constraints, changes in law, regulation, clearing house rules or business concerns.
Order in Which Checks and Other Items are Paid. In general, we pay checks and other transactions in the order in which they are presented to us for payment, regardless of when you issued or authorized them. Insufficient balances on your account may result from Determination of Available Balance to Pay Items. Checks and other transactions on your account are paid based on your available balance, and not the actual balance. Your actual balance is the amount of funds in the account at a point in time based on transactions that have posted to the account at that time. Your available balance is the amount of funds in the account that are available to pay checks, ACHs, and other items presented against the account without incurring an overdraft or non-sufficient funds fee or transferring funds from another account. The available balance is generally equal to the actual balance, less the amount of any holds placed on recent deposits, holds placed for other reasons, and holds for pending transactions (such as debit card purchases) that we have authorized but that have not yet posted to your account. If an item presented for payment against your account exceeds the available balance, we will treat it as presented against non-sufficient funds even if the actual balance exceeds the amount of the item.
