Before most of the automated checking systems were linked into point-of-sale systems, people could write a check anywhere, and it used to take at least a couple of days to hit the bank for verification. However, these days, since more and more stores have point-of-sale systems linked into ATM and credit card verification systems with banks and other financial entities, they can often run the check through to determine whether the account is valid and can cover the amount needed.

Typically, this appears in the form of a check.


What do you need to be sure of before you write somebody a check?

Before you write your check, you need to make sure that you have enough money in the bank to cover it. If your bank honors the check even though you don't have the money in your account, the bank may charge you a fee. If the bank refuses to pay the check, it's called a "bounced check," and the person whom you paid may charge you a fee on top of any bank fees.3


Are checks written by a depositor and paid by the bank?

Yes, a person with a bank account (a depositor) can write a check against that account for a sum of money. The person given the check (who the check is made out to) then presents it to their bank and the banks between them move the money from the account of the person who wrote the check to the account of the person who was given the check.

Can you withdraw money from your account from different banks?

It is possible to draw money from an account while at a different bank if the person in question has the bank accounts linked. Another option would be, if the person uses a checkbook, to write a check from the bank they want to draw money from and cash it at the bank they're at, but this may result in a service charge from the bank they're at if they do not have an account with them.

What do you call it when your check gets regected because there isn't any money in your account?

That is a bounced check and it will cost you money in fees levied by the bank and the bank of the person or business you wrote the check to. Each day your account is in the red the more money you will owe in fees. It is also illegal to write a bad check so there can be legal consequences. One bad check is a mistake, but more than one can be seen as a pattern. I suggest you get money into the account as fast as you can.
