Checks 101: Basics & Transaction Flow

2 Course items

EPCOR is breaking down our classic 101 courses into mirco-courses that will only take 15-20 minutes to complete. This first micro-course in the check series is intended to introduce the learner to the Check Network. Participants will learn how to identify the parts and parties to a check, review the two basic types of checks and go over the key participants and process flow of a check transaction as it moves through the Check Network. The difference between "Clearing" and "Presentment" and "Gross" vs "Net" settlement within the Check Network will also be covered. After completing the course, participants will be able to identify what is required to be on a check in order to make it a negotiable instrument.
