A returned check fee is a charge incurred when a check cannot be processed due to insufficient funds, a closed account, or other issues. For businesses, understanding returned check fees is important to avoid revenue loss and to set appropriate policies.
Why Returned Check Fees Are Charged
Returned check fees cover the cost of processing a failed transaction and act as a deterrent against future issues. Banks charge these fees to businesses, which often pass them on to the customer.
How to Prevent Returned Check Fees
- Customer Verification: Confirming customer funds or requiring upfront deposits can help avoid bounced checks.
- Digital Payment Alternatives: Offering eChecks or ACH payments can reduce reliance on physical checks and minimize return issues.
