Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A dashboard tool that tracks and visualizes bank-specific check hold policies and historical user experiences for specific institutions.
  2. A template letter or guide for customers to formally request a reconsideration of hold periods based on account history.
  3. A policy proposal for standardized, transparent 'funds availability' disclosures that must be provided at the moment of deposit.
