A check typically takes about 1 to 3 business days to be fully deposited and cleared in your account. While some funds may be available within a few minutes to the next day depending on the bank, the full amount usually takes 2 business days, and sometimes up to 5 days in certain cases. The timing varies based on how you deposit the check (in person, ATM, or mobile deposit), the bank’s policies, the amount of the check, and the deposit timing relative to the bank's cut-off hours. Banks are usually required to make at least the first $225 available by the next business day, with the remainder available within two days, barring any holds or special circumstances like suspected fraud or large deposits.
