Talk:Certified check

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the last sentence of this article:

"Note that this does not guarantee that sufficient funds will still be in the account when the attempt is made to cash the check."

Correct? Or does it at least need to be clarified? I'm pretty sure a certified check cannot bounce. This sentence does not seem to imply this fact.

I believe that it can bounce, and that a certified check only guarantees that this person recently had that much money. A cashier's check, on the other hand, can't bounce unless the bank goes bankrupt. I will verify this with a bank teller. StuRat 21:39, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

You can put a stop payment on a cashier's check and then it will bounce. --Gbleem 17:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, the entry seems to contradict itself in this regard. --mriker 00:10, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

You're right. I corrected the error. StuRat 21:49, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
