8. Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from TCT Federal Credit Union that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free or complete.

You understand that deposits made through Mobile Banking using the service will follow the same check hold and availability timeframes as checks received in our branches and that these timeframes are subject to change. Please refer to our Funds Availability Disclosure available on our website at https://www.tctfcu.org/disclosures-and-forms for current hold timeframes. If you are concerned about a hold being placed on your deposit, please contact us.
*You understand that all credit to your account is provisional until final credit has been received by TCT for your deposited item. This final credit may not occur until after the hold is released, in which case you will be responsible for repaying any funds owed to TCT as a result of the returned check.
*You understand that we reserve the right to reject an item or extend any hold placed if we have any reason to believe an item will not be paid.
