If the holds are placed on a customer's transaction account. State law may expand the coverage to savings and MMDA accounts, too.
I hasten to add that this doesn't include holds placed on the account on which the check is drawn. That's simply a matter of grabbing the balance to cash the check. Regulation CC will cover a hold placed on a transaction account for the purpose of cashing a check drawn on another account.
