An example of a check, an instrument potentially used for kiting.. Check kiting or cheque kiting (spelled differently in American and British English spelling) is a form of check fraud, involving taking advantage of the float to make use of non-existent funds in a checking or other bank account.
Sometimes the cheque fraud comes from an employee of the bank itself, as was the case with Suzette A. Brock, who was convicted of theft for writing five corporate cheques to her own birth name from her desk as a loan servicing agent for Banner Bank of Walla Walla, WA.
Thus both banks temporarily count the cheque amount as an asset until the cheque formally clears at Bank Y. The float serves a legitimate purpose in banking, but intentionally exploiting the float when funds at Bank Y are insufficient to cover the amount withdrawn from Bank X is a form of fraud.
