Can you cash stale dated checks?

! Banks have no responsibility to review the date on a check to determine if it should be deposited, paid, refused or rejected (this is in Rules and Regulations provided when an account is opened); On a stale dated check, ifcustomer doesn't want check paid, they should place stop payment on it. This also applies to post dated checks. According the the UCC, a bank can refuse a stale dated or posted check. It is at the discretion of the financial institution.


How long is a personal check valid?

you should not rely on any information that tells you that the check isn't good after six months. Here's why: if a check is more than six months old, your bank has two options, either it can refuse to honor the check because of its date, or it can honor the check if it is not aware that you don't want it paid. To tell the bank that you don't want the check paid, you would have to have a stop payment order in effect.
