To avoid holds, you can use:

• Direct deposit: You can avoid having a hold placed on your check by using direct deposit instead. If you have recurring income like a paycheck, pension payment or Social Security check, arrange to receive it by direct deposit.
• Cash deposits made at a teller window are usually made available no later than the next business day.

A hold means that although we’ve received your check for deposit, you won’t be able to use the funds until the hold period has expired. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the third business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225 of your check deposits will be available on the first business day after the date of your deposit. If the deposited item is returned unpaid before the hold expires, those funds will not be made available to you. If the deposited item is returned after the hold expired, we charge your account for the amount of the item. Holds are placed to help protect both you and us from losses that could occur when a deposited item is returned unpaid. Situations that typically cause a check to be held include:

• There is reason to believe the funds may be uncollectible
• The source of the check (e.g., foreign checks)
• The account is a new account (new account rules apply for the first 30 days the account is open)
• The account has repeated overdrafts in the last 6 months
• You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day
• Fraud is suspected
• Emergency situations, including computer or communication failure. Incorrect routing or account number information on a deposit slip

The speed with which we make your deposited funds available depends on a number of factors, including how, when, and where you made your deposit. For example:

• Direct Deposit: First Hawaiian Bank credits your account on the day the deposit is scheduled to occur. In most cases, a direct deposit is the fastest and easiest way to get funds into your account. Also, direct deposits are free.
• Wire Transfer: First Hawaiian Bank credits your account the day we receive it. Wire transfers typically have to be set up for each transfer. In most cases, there is a fee for sending or receiving a wire transfer, but it can be worth the expense since you know the money will be there when you need it.
• Cash with a Teller: Funds are available no later than the next business day.
• Checks: A hold may be placed on your deposit, depending on the type of check. If you're not sure, ask your teller when the funds you deposited will be available. 

To make a deposit by mail, send your check(s) to your branch of account. Please use our branch locator to find your branch of account’s address. Please do not mail cash.

• In FHB Online & Mobile Banking, you can use External Transfers to transfer money to your FHB checking account from your accounts at another bank.  Learn more about External Transfers.
