@perkinsights: Today I’m showing you a real-life example of why peer-to-peer digital payments matter. I just deposited a check at my bank… and it’s on hold until November 19 — 12 days before I can access my own money. Meanwhile, peer-to-peer payments using Bitcoin settle directly between two people, without waiting for a bank to “approve” access. This isn’t about hype — it’s about options and understanding how our traditional systems compare to new decentralized tools. This is informational only, not financial or legal advice. #Bitcoin #DigitalAssets #Crypto #Decentralized #WomenInFinance
In the digital age there is no reason for a check to take 10 days to clear. That is absurd

It’s actually a 7 business day hold…weekends and a federal holiday don’t count.

I work in risk for a bank so I’m going to make a few assumptions.. 1. your relationship with said bank is not long 2. The check is large & much more than you have in available funds to cover if it returns as a bad check 3. The source of the funds is outside your normal transaction

That tells you that the checks maker has had issues in the past. Banks know who bounces checks. They never forget.

I have worked in the finance industry over 20 years. Has always been this way. It is 10 business days. Usually quicker, Once the funds are verified. Usually happens with a larger deposit.

It's 2025, we have constant access to the internet. How is it possible that checks aren't processed immediately!?

its a 10 business day hold that ALL banks do on large checks. 12 days because of weekends and a national holiday. yes the check clears quickly, but they are making sure the person who wrote the check doesn't put a stop payment on it.

My friend got an inheritance check, it was held for 12 business days. When we sold our house in 2015, the payment held for 15 business days. Seems normal.

this is normal for large checks to prevent fraud. I've had it happen numerous times. it shouldn't happen with small checks though. it's frustrating regardless.

Check deposited Saturday is actually on Monday’s business day. Tuesday is a holiday so that doesn’t count. Same with weekends. And any check could be fraudulent so it doesn’t matter how well known the issuer is. Just bad timing for the deposit, nothing against you personally.

Just because it’s on a large company who doesn’t write bad checks doesn’t mean it isn’t fraudulent.

7 day business hold. Banks are closed on the 11th so that day doesn’t count

Holds are business days. Don’t include weekends or holidays. Funds typically clear in 3 business days to see if it’ll come back NSF.
