How long does it take for a personal check to clear into your checking account?

There's no ready answer. This depends on a number of factors including the policies of your bank and the payor's bank; the amount of the check; and the location of the accounts. Many banks place holds on large or out-of-state checks, or may extend courtesies to longtime accountholders by permitting the funds to be accessed sooner. Suggest talking to your teller or branch manager to find out your bank's policies and when you might expect the check to clear.

Why does a cheque not clear?
Just to clarify, there is a difference between a check that "bounces" and a check that doesn't "clear." However, they are often related. A check that bounces means that the bank of the person who wrote the check refuse to transfer the funds to the person attempting to cash or deposit the check. Most often this occurs because the issuer of the check doesn't have enough money in his/her checking account to pay the amount of the check. Sometimes it can also occur because the person who wrote the check "cancels" the check. (To do this you must go to your bank and sign a stop-payment order). Checks can also bounce if the bank doesn't believe the check is authentic or there is a question about the amount of the check or if the check hasn't been properly written, endorsed, and/or authorized. Typically, when someone says a check "didn't clear," they are referring to an electronic check verification system. Many businesses and merchants use an electronic scanning system to read the account number of a check and then cross-reference that account number with a database of checking accounts that have outstanding checks that have bounced. For example, if I have recently written a couple of checks that have bounced and then I attempt to purchase some items at the grocery store, the cashier might run my check through a check-scanning machine. It will read my account number and suggest that the cashier refuse my check because it has detected a high-probability that this check will bounce.

Can you pay by personal check at Walmart?
Probably not. Their check clearing service - TeleCheck - have refused two checks and cannot tell me why, except they have no credit history for this checking account. Only a history with them results in your ability to use a check, but you can't use a check through them until you have already used one. Even the supervisors at TeleCheck are ignorant to the reasons for rejection. They describe the use as a gamble - maybe your check will clear, but maybe it will not. The last supervisor I spoke to said "you can never know if your check will clear because our system decides if you can write the check."

Where can you open a new checking account in Arizona if your account was cancelled and reported to Chex Systems with no outstanding balance?
This should pose no particular problem, presuming your not trying to open an account using a check from the closed one! Any bank should be happy to open a new checking account for you, if you have an inital deposit (any bank will wait for your deposits to absolutely clear before letting you draw against them). Checking accounts are not really a credit thing...you can only legally write checks for money you have already deposited.
What are the different kinds of checks?
The Different Kinds of ChecksPersonal Check· A personal check is the means for the checking account holder to pay the money. Most banks allow you to write as many checks as you want per month without a fee, but some banks set a limit on the number of checks per month and charge a fee if you exceed it. Business Check· Business owners can open business checking account and issue business checks. Business checks are similar to personal checks. The account owner pays for supplies, business expenses and payroll with business checks. Most banks charge monthly fees for business checking accounts. They can also limit the number of checks the owner can write per month. Cashier's Check· A cashier's check is a check by the bank on its own funds. The bank takes the money out of an account holder's account and issues the check from its own account. Businesses prefer cashier's checks for large purchases. Cashier's checks take less time to clear when compared with personal checks. Certified Check· A certified check is similar to a cashier's check. The bank withdraws the funds from the holder's account and places them into a separate account until the certified check clears. Some banks charge a fee for a certified check. Traveler's Check· Traveler's checks come in specific denominations and were convenient to use during trips before credit and debit cards have rendered them nearly obsolete. The bank can replace travelers checks fast if you lose them, but you need to order traveler's checks ahead of time, pay fees and get enough checks for the trip. Debit and credit cards have become a more convenient substitute for traveler's checks. Money Order· A money order is a form of a prepaid check. You can buy it at a financial institution or a post office, but you do not need to have an account there. Money orders are a convenient replacement for cash. Because you should not mail cash, you can purchase and mail a money order, which never expires. The limit on one money order is $1,000. The post office allows you to purchase up to $3,000 in money orders per day without a picture ID and charges a small fee for them.

Where can I find online bank checking accounts that are great for international customers?
It is not clear what transactions you plan to engage in with "international customers." A checking account allows you to use a check to transfer funds from your account to another individual or business. In the US, all checking accounts are used to transact business in US dollars. If you were to deposit another instrument into your account in another currency, it would a) be rejected or b) be processed for a fee. International customers who want to transact business with someone in the US can go through a payer like PayPal, pay in, say, euros and have the funds available to the recipient in US dollars.
Do banks clear half of a check?
This entirely depends on your bank, but generally, no. A check will either clear entirely or be declined for non-sufficient funds (NFF). Banks generally will not clear the available balance in the account and decline the rest -- it's all or nothing.
