This entirely depends on your bank, but generally, no. A check will either clear entirely or be declined for non-sufficient funds (NFF). Banks generally will not clear the available balance in the account and decline the rest -- it's all or nothing.

How long does it take for a check from one bank to another bank to clear?

The time it takes for a check to clear from one bank to another typically ranges from one to five business days. Factors influencing this timeframe include the banks involved, the amount of the check, and whether it’s a local or out-of-state transaction. Some banks may offer faster processing options, but the standard clearing process usually requires at least one business day for verification.


How long does it take for a postdated check to clear?

The same length of time it takes for any other check to clear. Banks are not actually obligated by law (in the US) to pay any special attention to postdated checks, unless they have been specifically notified of them. If they have been notified, they are supposed to treat them as invalid if presented before the date on the check.


How long does it take a local check to clear?

If its an at-par check, and its the same bank, then it takes a couple of minutes to check the balance in the account and get cleared! Same is true with nationalized banks' and others' core-banking enabled networks! Thanks! Abid Rahman


Will you get paid if a check does not clear?

No. The fact that it didn't "clear" the bank means there either wasn't enough money in the account it was written from, or whoever wrote the check called the bank and cancelled (voided) it. If you deposited a check in your account, and it doesn't clear, then you need to subtract what you added in when you made the deposit because it's as though it doesn't exist. Contact the check writer (if you can) to get a new one. If it's a deadbeat who intentionally wrote a check with insufficient funds, the authorities (and the banks) take a very dim view of this as it constitutes fraud.


How long does it take for IRS check to clear?

Different banks will have different policies for clearing government checks depending on the amount of the check. Fraud using checks designed to look like they are issued by the US Federal or a State government is widespread, and while many banks will clear checks in relatively small amounts within 3-4 business days, larger checks may be held for up to 21 days to make sure they are genuine.
