How long does it usually take to receive a settlement check that has already been settled?
It is modern practice to make an inter-bank transfer. When I was selling boats I would transfer the money immediately I had cleared funds. Depositing the cheque does not give funds access until the bank has cleared the cheque and received the funds from the other bank. Settlements of any type can not take place until the funds are cleared which can take 3-5 working days.
What are the types of bank drafts?
There are regular bank checks, corporate checks, and certified checks. These are all considered bank drafts, meaning the funds must still be cleared by the bank itself.
When a check has been issued what does status outstanding mean?
A check authorizes a transfer of funds, usually from one bank account to a different bank account (although checks can also be cashed, in which case the funds transfer from one bank account to cash). Once this transfer has taken place, the check is said to have cleared. If the check has not yet cleared, then it is said to be outstanding.
What does pending mean on a deposit in the bank?
Pending means, that the payment instrument that you deposited in your bank is awaiting clearing. Meaning it is being sent back to the issuing bank and funds would then be cleared from the issuing bank to your bank account.
Can a stop be placed on a cleared check?
A cleared check is one for which the money due by means of the check has already been paid to the payee. So a stop cannot be placed on it because, the funds have already been paid out and the bank cannot reclaim the funds paid out for a check.
What if you wrote a check without having the funds in account but by the time check cleared the funds were in the account?
If you wrote a check when you had no funds in your checking account but had funds by the time the check hit the bank, you are fine. Sometimes it can take a check three days to clear, but not always.
If a cheque is cleared can any one freeze it afterwards?
A cleared check is one for which the money due by means of the check has already been paid to the payee. So a stop or freeze cannot be placed on it because, the funds have already been paid out and the bank cannot reclaim the funds paid out for a check.
Can banks withdraw funds that have cleared if they realize the funds were deposited when not due?
Yes and it sucks!
What is meant by clearing of cheques?
If you take a cheque to your bank to pay it in, the bank will credit your account with the amount, but you will not be able to withdraw this amount until the bank has processed the cheque internally and received the money from the bank issuing the cheque. When they have done this the money is 'really' in you account and you can take it out - the cheque has cleared. This practice was needed (and reasonable) when cheques had to be processed between banks manually and protected the bank from the effects of bad cheques. However modern banking means that the clearing is electronic and yet the banks still keep the cleared funds for the same amount of time they always did (a week) - they use these uncleared funds themselves and it is wrong!
