This branch is a joke!! They will place a hold on your check so they can hold on to the money. I deposited a check on a Tuesday. They put a hold on it, and that some of the money would be released on Thursday, and told me there was nothing they could do about it. I found out that branch did NOT release the funds on Thursday when I went to pay get my car out of the shop, the debit card was denied.
When I called they said there was nothing they could do and that the funds would be available in another week. I asked is there was anything to get the funds released earlier.

 Sandy told me I need to call the Title company that wrote the check and see if they put a stop payment on the check. I did and the Title officer told me she did NOT. I called back and Sandy told me she would look into it. Sandy called back and said I needed a copy of the cancelled check and then the funds would be released. When I called the Title company back they told me they were pro-active about this and they had a copy of the cancelled, and they emailed me the copy. I then called Sandy back and told her I had the copy and that the check had cleared the next day (Wednesday). She told me she would call me back. This was on Friday. She NEVER called back.

DON'T USE THIS BRANCH!!!
