1. How do you write a check?

   To write your check, fill out the fields carefully and sign at bottom right. We’ve included a properly filled out check below, as an example.
   
   

   A few notes:

   • The date at the upper right can be any standard format that includes the day, month and year.
   • Write the full name of the person, business entity, or organization who is receiving the check in the “Pay to the Order of” field.
   • The box at the right is for a numerical representation of the amount you’d like to pay the recipient.
   • The line with “dollars” at the end is where you write out the amount you’d like to pay the recipient in words; write the cents as a fraction XX/100; if there’s extra space, draw a line until “dollars” so that no one can adjust the amount you wrote.
   • The lower left field is for personal notes; this is optional. Some people like to write what the check is for, so they can remember when reviewing their records; If you’re paying a specific bill, you may be asked to write your invoice number or other identifying information you have on record with the company you’re paying.
   • Sign the check at lower right with the signature that you use for all important documents.
   • If you make a mistake on your check, you can cross it out and put your initials next to it and then write what you meant to write.
2. What is a secured credit card?

   A secured credit card is a special type of credit card that allows users with no credit (or poor credit) to build (or repair) their credit score.

   It works like this: The cardholder puts down a cash deposit as collateral to “secure” the card. The amount of cash put down is typically the cardholder’s credit limit. The cardholder then uses the card normally and their activity is reported to credit agencies, as it would be for any credit card.  

   As a result, the cardholder has the opportunity to build (or repair) their credit by making regular, on-time payments, among other things.

   At Old National Bank, we offer two secured credit card options.

3. What is a line of credit loan?

   A line of credit loan is a flexible loan that allows you to borrow what you need, as you need it, up to a set credit limit. As long as you follow your repayment terms, the loan remains open and you can borrow again. The most common example is a credit card, where you can continue to use it month after month, provided your account is in good standing. Other examples include Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) and revolving lines of credit for businesses.

   The contrasting loan type is a fixed loan, where you’re given a set amount of funds upfront, with the expectation that you repay the loan amount with interest over a set period of time. Once you’ve paid off the loan, there’s no opportunity to borrow again; you’d need to reapply for another loan. Common examples include mortgages, car loans and personal loans.

4. How can I send a wire transfer?

   To send money to both personal and business accounts in the US and internationally, visit your nearest Old National Banking Center.

   To learn more about domestic and international wires, including wire transfer fees, visit our Business Wire Transfers page or our Personal Wire Transfers page.

5. Is there a limit on how many people can be in a banking center?

   We have re-opened our banking centers and are no longer limiting the number of people who can be inside the lobby at one time. Appointments continue to be accepted and encouraged.

6. Do I need to wear a protective mask inside a banking center?

   Consistent with CDC guidance, we ask those not fully vaccinated to please wear a face mask while in the banking center. 

7. How do I place a stop payment on a check or pre-authorized payment?

   Please be aware that a stop payment fee of $38 per item applies. You can submit a stop payment request in one of several ways:

   • For checks, log in to Online Banking. Go to Additional Services and choose Stop Payment. Follow the on-screen instructions. You can also place a stop payment for a check within our Mobile App.
   • For checks and electronic transactions, visit any Old National banking center or call Client Care at 1-800-731-2265.
   • When requesting a stop payment, you will need to provide the date, the amount, and the number of the item, together with the name of the payee.
   • Once a stop payment is placed, and the form has been signed (when applicable), stop payment orders remain effective for up to six (6) months from the date authorized.
   • Please note, that even though a stop payment request goes into effect immediately, you may still see the transaction attempting to clear your account within Online Banking. If this happens, rest assured that the transaction will be returned during our nightly processing of accounts.

10. When will the check I deposited through Mobile Deposit be available?

    Checks deposited using Mobile Deposit are available for withdrawal based upon our typical funds availability policy. If we receive your mobile deposit by our Mobile Deposit cut-off time of 8pm CST, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), we consider that business day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

    Checks written from an Old National account:
    If you submit a check written from an Old National account through Mobile Deposit by the 8pm cut-off time, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), the deposit will be available the same day. In other words, it will be credited to your account and available to cover checks or other debits being processed that night.

    Checks written from an account at a bank other than Old National:
    If made by the 8pm CST Mobile Deposit cut-off time, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), these deposits will typically be available the next business day. This means these funds will not be available to cover checks or other debits processed that night. In some cases, an extended hold may need to be placed on a mobile deposit, meaning funds will not be available the next business day. 

    Viewing your mobile deposit
    You should be able to view your mobile deposit in your Digital Banking transaction history within one to two business days of your deposit.

    If you have questions about your Mobile Deposit, please call Client Care at 1-800-731-2265, or take the check into an Old National banking center.
