Do you know what happens to checks that you bring in to the bank?

For what I know the checks will sent to the main office of the bank and they will if the account holder of the check has a fund. If there's a fund they will collect that fund to the issuing bank (but if there's no fund the check will bounce and return to the depositor.) after that they will set a clearing date and after it has been cleared it will be returned to the account holder or to the person who issues that check attached to their bank statements. That's what I noticed here in our company since I was holding all the check here.

To be honest, I had no idea. lol. But, I did some (paid) searching and found the following...after some digging around and trying different search keywords. http://money.howstuffworks.com/bank11.htm I have sort of always wondered this myself- thanks!

they usually send them back to the writer after a time,cancelled as cashed.i imagine they keep them in the vault for awhile,or they'd be all over the front area.

All our issued checks are mailed back to us by our bank. So I presume all other checks are mailed back to their respective owners. My wife do the accounting and once they are all tallied she keep it in a box until such time that they are good for shredding.

It used to be the checks were mailed back to the person holding the account but I don't thin any bank no longer does this. The banks copy your checks and send you a copy then I think the checks are kept at a bank vault for safe keeping.

If you are talking about cash cheques only, here is the answer. Once tallied, as you said, for the day, chqs are taken by attender/sub-staff at the bank, and sorted type wise viz. savings,current,overdraft etc. then bundled, numbered and kept as a single voucher bundle at a secure place inside the bank branch! After sometime, when the space is not enough, they are transferred to separate godowns manned by the bank! This is usual practice, with some deviations here and there.
