    How transaction processing affects your balance

    The order transactions post will impact your available balance. If there’s not enough available money in your account to cover all of your transactions, the posting order could affect the number of overdrafts or returned items on your account and the number of fees you incur. We post deposits before withdrawals. The most common account transactions will post to your account in the following order:

    • One
      All deposits and other account credits made before the cutoff time.
    • Two
      Branch transactions/digital & mobile payments/fees, including: teller withdrawals, wire transfers, returned deposits or adjustments, automated line of credit payments, account transfers, online bill payments, check printing fees and overdraft or NSF fees from the previous processing day.
    • Three
      ATM withdrawals and debit card purchases.
    • Four
      Checks paid from your account in check number order, starting with the lowest number.
    • Five
      All other withdrawals, including electronic (ACH) payments, monthly maintenance fees, ATM withdrawal fees and paper statement fees.
