Why are bank reconciliation statements completed?

How do you stop Speedway Inc from writing an electronic check to your account every month for 5 to 8 dollars when your bank puts the money back but can't stop it?

I work at a bank. At this point Speedway has your account number and routing number and will continue to try to put these checks through your account. If your bank pays the electronic check every time, then Speedway is making out like a bandit. The best thing to do is close your account and reopen another one. This way Speedway won't know your new account number and the next time they submit an elctronic check to your now closed account, they'll pay a fee to their bank. I know closing and reopening an account is a pain, so in the future be very wary of who you release your account info to and protect it. Call speedway and remind them it is against the law take money from your account without your permission.

What happens when the bank puts a deposit in the wrong account?

They will research it, and if the deposit was put into the wrong account they will debit the account it was put into and credit the account it was supposed to go into. It is important you fill out your deposit slip accurately because that is the record of where it should have gone. If that happens, all parties involved will be notified by the bank. The bank will revert the transaction if the mistake was on their part. If the incorrect transfer happened because of the customers mistake in providing accurate account numbers, the bank would not revert the transaction.

Do you owe the bank if they did a mistake by putting money that is not yours?

If a bank accidentally puts money in your account that does not mean it belongs to you. Yes, you do owe it back to the bank. Banks are usually good at eventually catching up with these types of mistakes and will take it right back out of your account. It's best just to let them know of the error to save yourself the headache of counting on funds that likely won't stay in your account.Additional: The noney was never "yours" in the first place. If you have already spent it - yes, the bank does have the right to recover it from you.

How is math used in banking?

When someone deposits or withdraws money from a bank, more math is involved to calculate the total in their accounts. Again, precision and accuracy is key. If a bank employee accidentally puts too much money into someone's account, it will cost the bank money. If an employee puts too little into someone's account, it can greatly damage the bank's image. The same goes for withdrawals. The amount taken from the account must match the amount the client withdrew from the account. Accurate math is essential to all transactions; extensive record keeping insures mathematic accuracy. The math is repeatedly checked and rechecked.
