Decide what to tell customers about check holds

You’re the legal / compliance lead. Your team is in the room. Printed Aug 6, 2026.

A provider transition can turn a familiar customer promise into a different operational reality overnight.

Consistency with prior expectations and accuracy under new rules may not always point to the same answer.

Who you’d be doing this for

“If the app says I can use it Tuesday, I’m planning my whole week around Tuesday.”

Uses mobile check deposit for customer payments and depends on stated availability dates to buy materials for jobs.

What is at stake

A bank conversion in 60 days would change hold times on 0.9% of past check deposits, some held longer than customers were told. You decide what gets disclosed, what earns an exception, and what evidence you keep.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • cutover certainty vs. customer-access accuracy
  • vendor standardization vs. account-specific obligations
  • speed to conversion vs. verified evidence
  • operational continuity vs. irreversible customer impact

Why Chime

At Chime, this can matter because deposit availability often shapes whether customers can cover everyday obligations when they expect to.
