Check cancellation. The issuer’s bank marks the check as “canceled,” indicating the transaction is finalized and the check cannot be reused. What Is the Role of the Bank in Canceling a Check?
Cheque clearing (or check clearing in American English) or bank clearance is the process of moving cash (or its equivalent) from the bank on which a cheque is drawn to the bank in which it was deposited, usually accompanied by the movement of the cheque to the paying bank, either in the traditional physical paper form or digitally under a cheque truncation system.
A dishonoured cheque (also spelled check) is a cheque that the bank on which it is drawn declines to pay (“honour”). There are a number of reasons why a bank might refuse to honour a cheque, with non-sufficient funds ( NSF ) being the most common, indicating that there are insufficient cleared funds in the account on which the cheque was drawn.
When a cheque is mailed, a separate letter or "remittance advice" may be attached to inform the recipient of the purpose of the cheque – formally, which account receivable to credit the funds to. This is frequently done formally using a provided slip when paying a bill, or informally via a letter when sending an ad hoc cheque.
Voiding any check you don’t want to go through by writing “void” in large letters over the front of the check is crucial so be sure to do this before starting another.
The check was forged or the amount was raised. The customer does not have enough money to cover the check (typically, a stop payment on a check has less of a dishonorable appearance than a check that bounces). Stop payments are charged a fee by the customer's financial institution, usually the same as a fee for a bounced check.
