Q. How do I order an ATM/Visa Debit Card?
A. To order an ATM/Visa Debit Card please visit one of our branch locations or contact our Customer Service Center at 1-800-235-4636 (Option 1, 1, 1, enter your account number, #, enter your PIN, #, 0).

Q. What is your check hold policy?
A. Our policy is to follow federal regulations. Availability of some types of check deposits is delayed; the amount of the delay depends on the type of check, as described below. During the delay, you may not withdraw the funds in cash and we may not use the funds to pay checks that you have written. Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit which are returned to us unpaid.

Funds from the following deposits are available on the day of the deposit:

Electronic Direct Deposits
Wire Transfers
Cash

Checking and money market account funds from the following deposits are available on the first business day after the day of the deposit:

U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to you
Checks drawn on BestBank

Any of the following items deposited in person to a BestBank branch employee at a teller window and payable to you. You are required to use a special deposit slip available from our tellers:

State and local government checks
Cashier's, certified, and teller's checks

Other check deposits and all check deposits to savings and certificate accounts have the first $200 available on the first business day after the day of the deposit, and the remaining funds are available on the second business day after the day of the deposit.

If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, 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.

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