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
