FAQ
Unfortunately, the fact is that there's generally no actual obligation to honor the date on a check.
Postdated checks are checks written with a future date. Postdated checks can usually be cashed or deposited at any time unless the person who wrote the check specifically told their bank not to honor the check until a certain date.
Several banks now offer a service where your paycheck is available one or two days before the regular payday if your employer uses direct deposit. This early direct deposit of your paycheck could help you keep up with bills and avoid late fees, especially on bills due around the time you receive your salary.
A signed check immediately becomes legal tender that a bank can deposit or cash before the indicated date on the check. Therefore, a bank will be able to accept a check if it is dated and signed. Ask your bank or credit union for their specific policy for postdated checks in their account disclosures.
Yes. Banks and credit unions generally don't have to wait until the date you put on a check to cash it. However, state law may require the bank or credit union to wait to cash the check if you give it reasonable notice. Contact your bank or credit union to learn what its policies are.
Can a bank or credit union cash a post-dated check before the date on the check? Yes. Banks and credit unions generally don't have to wait until the date you put on a check to cash it. However, state law may require the bank or credit union to wait to cash the check if you give it reasonable notice.
Depositing a postdated check a day early may cause the check writer's bank to attempt to pay the check immediately. If the check writer does not yet have the funds in his bank account, this will cause the check to "bounce," or be returned for nonsufficient funds.
A signed check immediately becomes legal tender that a bank can deposit or cash before the indicated date on the check. Therefore, a bank will be able to accept a check if it is dated and signed. Ask your bank or credit union for their specific policy for postdated checks in their account disclosures.
According to UCC § 3-113, if a financial instrument, such as a check, is undated, its official date is the date on which it first came into the possession of the person or business listed on it. Since banks follow the UCC, your undated check will be deposited.
Federal law restricts what a debt collector can and cannot do with your postdated check. Specifically, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a debt collector cannot: coerce you into making a postdated payment by threatening or instituting criminal prosecution.
