Try not to ever deposit via a live teller. They dont know a thing for the most part and are told to be on the lookout for scam checks. If you keep an avg balance higher than the amount of the check the hold wont be near as long. The one time i was questioned by a teller i just kinda gave her the offended that she asked attitude and told her id been working for these people for 5 years and had no doubt they were legit, ill find out if it bounces when u send me the notice with your $35 NSF charge. She didnt say another word.
