What happens when a check is being processed?
What happens when a check is being processed? The check will move from the deposit bank to the drawing bank as part of the check clearing process. The process starts when a check is deposited to a bank. The bank will then set about contacting the drawing bank. The check is cleared when the depositing bank has received the check and funds from the drawing bank.
How do banks verify checks?
Banks can verify checks by checking the funds of the account it was sent from. It's worth noting that a bank will not verify your check before it processes it, meaning you may face fees for trying to cash a bad check. The bank checks if there are funds in the account, and if not, the check bounces.
