Generally, state law provides that if you notified your bank or credit union about a post-dated check a reasonable time before it received the check, your notice is valid for six months. During that time, the bank or credit union should not cash the check before the date you wrote on the check.
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.
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.
In most cases, when you receive a postdated check, you can deposit or cash a postdated check at any time. Debt collectors may be prohibited from processing a check before the date on the check, but most individuals are free to take postdated checks to the bank immediately.
