Common use of Posting Order of Credits and Debits Clause in Contracts

Posting Order of Credits and Debits. Posting Orders. This section summarizes how we generally post some common transactions to your Account. Posting transactions to your Account impacts your Account balance. Posting a credit increases your balance, while posting a debit or hold reduces your balance. Credits include deposits and credits we make. Holds include deposit holds, authorizations and holds related to withdrawals and EFTs (as defined below). Debits include withdrawals, transfers, payments from your Account, transactions, and fees. We use automated systems to process transactions and then to post transactions to your Account. When we process multiple transactions for your Account on the same day, you agree that we may in our discretion determine our posting orders for the transactions and that we may credit, authorize, accept, pay, decline or return credits, debits and holds in any order at our option. We generally post common transactions as set forth herein. We group the different types of transactions into categories. We use several different categories for holds, credits, and debits. Most categories include more than one transaction type. After the end of the business day, our automated systems assign each transaction received for that day to a category. We generally post all transactions within a category, using the posting order or orders that apply to that category, before we post any transactions assigned to the next category. First, we start with the balance in your Account at the beginning of the business day, subtract holds from your balance, and make any adjustments from prior days. Next, we generally add available and settled deposits and credits to your balance and then subtract debits from your balance based on the debit category. We subtract debits in a category from your balance in order from the highest to lowest dollar amount, unless specified otherwise herein. The first category of debits to be applied against your balance are certain ATM transactions (e.g., ATM withdrawals and transfers) and associated fees. The debits within this category are subtracted from your balance in date and time order by which our systems receive date and time information. If we make checks available to you, this category is applied next against your balance. Check posting will be in sequential order based on the check number, and for any check for which the number cannot be read, from highest to lowest amount following the posting of number legible checks. We then subtract from your balance any other types of electronic debits in order from the highest to lowest dollar amount. These debits generally include Transfers. Finally, we subtract from your balance most fees (such as monthly maintenance fees, returned item fees, and ATM fees) in order from highest to lowest dollar amount. Some fees may show as “processing” until the next day.
