  • Notice to Customers Presenting Checks

    Conversion of Checks—If you are presenting a check to the cashier, your check will be converted into an electronic fund transfer. When you hand your completed, signed check to the cashier, your check will be copied. The account information from your check will be used to make an electronic fund transfer from your account in the amount of the check. The cashier will void the check and return it to you.

    Insufficient Funds—The electronic fund transfer from your account will usually occur within 24 hours, which is faster than a check is normally processed. Do not present a check to the cashier unless there are sufficient funds available in your checking account. If the electronic fund transfer cannot be completed because of insufficient funds, we may try to make the transfer up to two more times [and we will charge you a one-time fee of $ ___, which we will also collect by electronic fund transfer].

    Authorization—By reading this notice and handing your check to the cashier, you authorize the conversion of your check into an electronic fund transfer. If the electronic fund transfer cannot be processed for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy of your original check.

    More Information—A pamphlet with more information about this process, including information about your rights under Federal law, is available from the cashier. [You may also call ___ or visit our Internet site at ___ for detailed information.]

    Note:

    This notice must be conspicuous. This means that the notice should be printed on a sign that is prominently posted at the location where checks are presented to a cashier, in such a way that it is clearly visible from several feet away to customers waiting to present checks.
