The
Check 21 Act
In order to create a more
streamlined banking system, Congress recently
enacted a key piece of legislation called The Check
Clearing for the 21st Century Act, better known as
Check 21 Act. The law provides for a new,
negotiable instrument called a "substitute" check
banks can exchange electronically-in place of the
traditional paper checks which needs to be
physically transferred between financial
institutions. Though the law does not oblige banks
to switch over, many will. What does it mean for
your business? Now, checks can clear in a matter of
hours, rather than days, both yours and customers'.
With funds moving through the system at an
accelerated pace, business owners are being faced
with new challenges with cash flow.
How is it changing the way
businesses operate?
The good news first. Once you
deposit a customer's check, those funds will be
available in a matter of hours, providing you with
some quick cash to pay bills. On the minus side,
the checks you write to suppliers will also clear
in a matter of hours, so you can no longer factor
in the float in managing your accounts. The new
rule of thumb? Pay only those bills for which funds
are available at the time you write the check. This
will require you to monitor your balance more
frequently and to time your payments more
carefully, especially when large bills come
due.

Act and its impact on business, visit
