                     **  Local: A Check is considered "local" when it is drawn against a bank located in the same processing region
                         as the depository bank. The check-processing region for the State of Arizona is
                         the Los Angeles Region. Any check with a four-digit ABA Number beginning with "12" or "32" is
                         "local".
                     ***   On-US Checks:  Next day availability is dependent on the check being drawn against the same bank or
                         branch as the depository bank and in the same check-processing region, meaning the ABA
                         numbers must begin with "12" or "32".
