Common use of Dates on Your Checks Clause in Contracts

Dates on Your Checks. We may pay a check you write regardless of its date or language limiting payment to a certain time (for example, “stale dated” checks or checks bearing a “void after” date legend).

Attempts to limit payment of a check by date or lan- guage are ineffective because 1) checks presented as EFTs or other transfers may not include the date, 2) our processing technology may not allow for the examination of a date, and 3) a person in pos- session of your unpaid check may take legal action against you for the amount and costs. If you do not want an outstanding check paid, you may place a stop payment order on the check (please see Pro- vision 6.
