Definition of 'Check Hold'

Denotes a period of time equal to the maximum number of days that a bank can legally hold the money from a check that was deposited. After this time it must credit the funds to the account of the party making the deposit. The check holding period is normally the same number of days as it takes for the check to go through the bank's clearing cycle.
