Determining the Availability of a Deposit

This Notice describes your ability to withdraw funds at Skyline Financial Federal Credit Union (SFFCU). It only applies to the availability of funds in transaction accounts. The Credit Union reserves the right to delay the availability of funds deposited to accounts that are not transaction accounts for periods longer than those disclosed in this policy. Please ask us if you have a question about which accounts are affected by this policy.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
