Money Matters

Cheques—clearing

When you write a cheque you are telling your financial institution to transfer a certain amount of money to someone else. Once the cheque is cashed, it takes about one day for the cheque to “clear”, that is, for the money to be transferred from your account to their account. Make sure you have enough money in your account to cover any cheques.
