If you send a check to someone and there are no funds do the bank still pay it?

That depends on the bank. Some banks offer overdraft protection, meaning they cover the check and deduct the amount for the check plus a fee for the service from your account which could result in a negative balance. You should check with your bank to see if they provide this service to you.

If you owe money at a bank can they still seize funds if you deposit a check from someone who also holds an account there into your checking account at a different bank?
To clarify, I owe money at US Bank for a defaulted credit card with them. I have a TCF checking account. If I try to deposit a check made payable to me, and that check happens to be a US Bank check, can US Bank seize the check made payable to me even if I deposit it into my TCF checking account? Not sure if they will see that US Bank funds are made payable to me from someone else's account. Any insight would help! Thanks!

If you receive a check that is stamped with "uncollected funds" or "insufficient funds," it means there was not enough money in your account to pay the amount the check was written for and the bank will not honor your check. Likely, you will be charged a bounced check fee that varies according to your bank's policies.
Can you cash a check at a different bank?
You can cash a check at a different bank if the check was drawn on that bank. Some banks will cash a check drawn on a different bank but funds will not be available right away. They will wait for the check to clear.

Who can certify a check?
Only the bank can certify a check, or someone at the bank. Usually, the bank will not certify a personal check, they will issue what is called a "certified check". A certified check is guaranteed to have available funds by the bank that certifies it. Certified means the funds are held aside. Anyone with a certified check made out to them can go to that bank and collect cash. In days of banking past, you could have a personal or business check certified by the bank, and they would stamp the check "certified" and hold the funds aside on that item. Now, the bank will just issue a certified check after taking the money from your account and the certified check will be drawn on the bank's account. This answer is for the U.S. banking system.
