Funds Availability Disclosure

Our general policy, in most cases, is to allow you to withdraw funds deposited in an account on the second Business Day after the day of deposit. In some cases, we may delay your ability to withdraw funds beyond the second Business Day after the day of deposit. Our complete policy is summarized below. For purposes of this disclosure, the terms "you"/"your" refer to the customer and the terms "our"/"we"/"us" refer to StonehamBank. The term "account" includes any demand deposit, negotiable withdrawal order account, savings deposit or other asset account.

The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we may not pay checks you have written on your account by using these funds. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. The term "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday, and the term "Banking Day" means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions.

In order to establish that a deposit is made on a particular Business Day, we establish a cut-off time. You must make your deposit before the cut-off time in order for it to be considered to have been made on that Business Day. The cut-off time that we use depends on the location where you make your deposit.

If you make a deposit at an ATM owned and operated by StonehamBank* before 11:00 pm Eastern Time on a Business Day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 11:00 pm Eastern Time  or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.

If you make a deposit at one of our branches in person with one of our employees before the close of business on a Business Day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.

If you make a deposit with the StonehamBank mobile app before 3:00 pm Eastern Time on a Business Day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 3:00 pm Eastern Time or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.

*ATM's that are owned and operated by StonehamBank are labeled with the name "StonehamBank".

Same Day Availability. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. In addition, funds from deposits of cash (if made in person to an employee of StonehamBank*), wire transfers, U.S. Treasury checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account), and checks drawn on us will also be available on the day of deposit.

Next Day Availability. Funds from deposits of U.S. Postal Service Money Orders (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of StonehamBank*), Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of StonehamBank*), State or Local Government checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of StonehamBank*), and Cashier's, Certified, or Teller's checks (if payable to you and deposited into your account, and the deposit is made in person to an employee of StonehamBank*) are available on the first Business Day after the day of your deposit.

*If you do not make your deposit in person to one of our employees (for example, if you mail the deposit), funds from these deposits will be available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit.

If any of these conditions are not satisfied, then the funds from these check deposits will be made available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit.

All Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the second Business Day after the day of your deposit. The first $225.00 of your deposits, however, will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit.

In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second Business Day after the day of your deposit. The first $225.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances: (a) if we believe a check you deposit will not be paid; (b) if you deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day; (c) if you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid; (d) if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or (e) if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the failure of computer or communications equipment.

We will notify you if we delay your availability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh Business Day after the day of your deposit.

If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.

If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

Funds from cash deposits, wire transfers, checks drawn on us or electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Cash deposits must be made in person to an employee of StonehamBank to be eligible for same day availability. U.S. Treasury checks will be available on the day we receive the deposit provided the checks are made payable to you and deposited to your account. Funds from the first $5,525 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you and the deposit must be made in person to an employee of StonehamBank and deposited into your account. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) does not meet these certain conditions, the first $5,525 will not be available until the second Business Day after the day of deposit. The excess over $5,525 will be available on the seventh Business Day after the day of your deposit. 

Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the seventh Business Day after the day of your deposit.

The first $225 from a deposit of cash and/or checks made at one of our ATMs will be available immediately; the remaining funds will generally be available on the second business day after the day of your deposit.

ATM deposits, cash or checks, made at ATMs not owned by StonehamBank may be subject to a delay in availability.

Funds deposited at ATMs not owned by StonehamBank will be made available no later than the fifth business day after the day of deposit.
