What is the the fullest extent allowed by law that a bank may hold funds when closing a checking account?
If you are closing your account, the bank can deduct any fees you may owe and allow you to leave with your funds immediately. When closing an account, there is no delay. You may opt to not close the account until all your checks have cleared, but that is your responsibility, not the banks.
