A detailed explanation can be found in section 229.12 of Regulation CC. But remember, the Expedited Funds Availability Act requires the first $225 of a deposit that is not already subject to next-day availability to be made available by the first business day following the day of deposit.

You may only have immediate access to a portion of the funds, depending on the check's size. But expect to wait a day or two for the check to clear. Only a handful of banks, such as PNC, KeyBank and Fifth Third Bank, offer immediate check deposit availability.
This is because some financial institutions update their accounts a few hours after midnight. However, most banks complete the direct deposit before 6 a.m., allowing many consumers to wake up the next day with the funds sitting in their accounts.
Generally, if you deposit a check or checks for $200 or less in person to a bank employee, you can access the full amount the next business day. If you deposit checks totaling more than $200, you can access $200 the next business day, and the rest of the money the second business day.

What time your direct deposit hits depends on the financial institution. Most recipients can expect their direct deposits to be available by 9 a.m. on payday, with many banks allowing funds to be released between midnight and 6 a.m. If your bank allows for the funds to be released sooner, you'll see them then.
You can make deposits at any time at ATMs that have 24-hour access and are not inside a branch. Remember that every transaction made after 6 p.m. will be processed the next business date.
How long does a bank draft take to clear? Most checks take several days before you receive funds in your account. But bank drafts clear much more quickly, often appearing in your account within 24 hours. That's because the issuer's guarantee means fewer steps are needed to verify that the money is present.

Generally, when depositing government checks, cashier's checks, certified checks, and official checks, the funds must be available the next business day. This is also true for in-house checks (also called "on-us checks"), meaning you're cashing a check at the same bank that issued the check.
Your bank may hold the funds according to its funds availability policy. Or it may have placed an exception hold on the deposit. If the bank has placed a hold on the deposit, the bank generally should provide you with written notice of the hold.
