Yes, a person with a bank account (a depositor) can write a check against that account for a sum of money. The person given the check (who the check is made out to) then presents it to their bank and the banks between them move the money from the account of the person who wrote the check to the account of the person who was given the check.

What is the difference between a cashiers check and a certified check and a bank check?

There is no real difference, just different names for the same idea. A cashier's/bank/certified check is a check which a guarantor, normally a bank, has written in exchange for cash or immediate withdrawal from a depositor's account. The funds are collected in advance by the bank so the payee (to whom the check is payable) has guarantee that they will be paid when the check is properly negotiated.

What is the difference between a canceled check and a outstanding check?

A canceled check is a check that has been processed by the bank, meaning it has been paid out and deducted from the issuer's account. In contrast, an outstanding check is one that has been written and issued but has not yet cleared the bank, so it still shows as a liability on the issuer's account. Essentially, canceled checks confirm payments made, while outstanding checks indicate pending transactions.

How do you find out where all of your checks are that bounced?

You need to get with your bank to see if they paid your checks or not. If they sent them back to the person who deposited the checks that you made out to them they will be at that person's office or business. You will receive a charge from your bank for bouncing the check and you will also get a bill from who you wrote the check to so you can pick up the bounced check. Some businesses don't keep their bounced checks they turn them over to a collection agency and then they will contact you. Hope this helps.
