This depends on the type of check being deposited. Typically a check can be held for a maximum of 11 business days of it is non-local and does not qualify for next day availability under government regulation. A bank could hold your check longer, though, if they feel it is reasonable to do so. For local checks the hold period is typically 7 business days, but again the bank may extend if they feel it is reasonable.

How long does a bank hold on a check?

Banks may hold checks for a variety of reasons, though some checks may qualify for next-day availability as long as your account history is acceptable. Typical holds for local checks from other banks last up to 7 days, while typical holds for non-local checks from other banks last up to 11 days. A bank can hold a check that does not qualify for next-day availability (or if your account history warrants, even if it otherwise would) for any length of time it deems reasonable.
