Daily Deposit Cut Off Times & FAQs

Deposited funds (cash, check, mobile banking app deposits, etc.) are reflected in the account holder’s available balance based on the type of deposit and how the deposit is made. Below is more information outlining the different deposit types and how Peoples Bank decides funds availability.
