What is a bank on-us check?

Quick Answer

An on-us check is a check drawn on the same bank where it is deposited — no clearing house involved, settlement is internal book-entry, and funds typically clear the same business day. Banks favor on-us volume and often waive holds on these deposits.

On-us check stays inside one bank versus interbank check via Federal Reserve.
