Below are the sequence of events that happen

  1. You write a check of Bank A worth $100 payable to me
  2. I deposit this check into my account that I have with Bank B
  3. Bank B sends a request to Bank A with details of the check and the amount to be paid against it
  4. Bank A validates the check to see if it is valid and contains your correct signature. If so, it checks if you have sufficient balance in your account to pay the check.
  5. If you have sufficient balance, Bank A sends $100 to Bank B
  6. If you dont have sufficient balance, Bank A sends a transaction declined message to Bank A
  7. Bank B intimates me if the check returned with no funds or if funds were available credits them into my account

What does a debit memo mean?

If you recently deposited a personal check into your account, the bank will let you use $100 immediately by law. Until the rest of it clears however, it may show up on your bank statement as a "memo debit" until the check clears. For example, you deposit a check for $800. $100 is made available to you right away, but $700 will appear as a memo debit. Once the check clears 3-11 days later, that amount will disappear from your Pending debits and you will have access to the full amount of the check.
