How long does it take for Tele Chex systems to report a bounced check?

I'm assuming you're just asking if how long it takes for a merchant to know if a check has bounced. Checks are now electronically sent to their clearing houses which means they are being processed faster, and checks clear faster. If the check is local, the merchant will know within 3 business days (its usually next day though), and within 5 if its unlocal. If you constantly bounce checks, your bank may report you to chexsystems and close your account. Once the bank reports you, you will see a chexsystems report within 1 to 10 business days depending on if they use electronic or paper reporting.


What is a chexsystem in banking?

Chexsystem is a national database the banks use to track people who have had problems with their banks accounts and have had them closed.

Once you're in Chexsystems you stay for 5 years, even if you pay off what you owe.


What routing number should I use to pay my life insurance policy through my card?
