Check 21: After the Deadline
by John M. Floyd


Question: What do you think will initially happen after the Check 21 Act goes into effect this fall?

Answer: Initially, I think your bank will see a drastic rise in your return item processing. Once Check 21 is instated, it will be a matter of hours, or even minutes, for your customers' checks to clear, instead of the usual three-plus days. Because of this, many of your customers will be caught off guard by the quick turnaround time.

By implementing an overdraft privilege program now, you will be prepared for the sheer volume of return items. An overdraft program's automated system will dramatically reduce your return item processing time.
