- The required fields are highlighted below.

- Click Print Form. Two copies of the document will print.
- Have the client sign the form. Provide one copy to the client and scan the other.
- Apply the appropriate hold. See the Funds Availability chart and Holds Covered by Reg CC for more information.
- If Vertex is not available, do the following:
- Upload the hold when the system becomes available.
- Load the hold in Silverlake.
- Be sure to use the correct expiration date, which is not the date available printed on the Notice of Hold/Delayed Availability. The expiration date of the hold is the processing date prior to the available date.
- For example: If the funds were to be available on Wednesday, the expiration date for the system would be Tuesday’s calendar date. When the hold is loaded this way, the funds would then be available at the opening of business on Wednesday (as required by the regulation).
- When funds are to be available on a Monday, the expiration date must be the previous Friday. We do not process on Saturday or Sunday, and therefore if the hold is not released on Friday, the funds are not be available on Monday morning for the client.
- In the upper right-hand corner of the hold form, write loaded by and your initials.
- Review the following information to ensure it is correct:
- Dollar amount
- Number of hold days
- Expiration date
- Funds available date
- If corrections to the funds available date are required, a new form/notice must be completed and provided to the client showing the correct date. If the client is no longer present, a new form showing the corrected date must be mailed to the client.
- Complete all Document Imaging Procedures.
