Some Background Info

What Is Reg CC?

Regulation CC is a banking regulation set forth by the Federal Reserve.

The Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFA or EFAA, and commonly referred to as Regulation CC or Reg CC) was enacted in 1987 by the United States Congress for the purpose of standardizing hold periods on deposits made to commercial banks and to regulate institutions' use of deposit holds.

Reg CC sets certain standards for endorsements on checks that are paid by banks and other depository institutions. In other words, Reg CC sets limits for the length of time a financial institution may place a hold on the use of funds after a check has been deposited to an account.

According to the Federal Register, Regulation CC implements the requirements set forth in the EFA Act regarding the availability schedules within which banks?must make funds available for withdrawal, exceptions to those schedules, disclosure of funds availability policies, and payment of interest.

Essentially, checks drawn on local institutions (defined as being in the same check processing region) must be credited on the second business day after deposit, and checks drawn on non-local institutions must be credited on the fifth day after deposit. Regulation CC rules generally apply to:
  • Cash
  • Electronic payments
  • U.S. Treasury Department checks
  • U.S. Postal Service money orders
  • Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank checks
  • State or local government checks
  • Cashier's, teller's, or certified checks
  • Checks drawn on an account at the same financial institution
