Savings account Deposits and withdrawals Florida

On Friday - - - I deposited a - check from - - in - - FL. The check was drawn on - Bank which is also local. When the deposit was made through the drive through I was informed there would be a hold.

After having deposited large sums before I felt something was wrong in regards to the full amount being held for - days and to be made available on the fifth day. At no point was it mentioned why a hold was placed, I was instructed if I needed the funds available prior to the - I needed to speak with the branch manager.
