is deposited by TSA?
Upon receipt of a paper check for a
payment, the Federal Reserve Banking
system will convert your check into an
electronic funds transfer (EFT). The
Federal Reserve Bank will make a copy
of your check and use the account
information on it to debit your account
electronically for the amount of the
check. The debit from your account will
usually occur within 24 hours, and will
be shown on your regular account
statement. You will not receive the
original check back. The Federal
Reserve Bank will destroy the original
paper check, but will maintain an
electronic copy of it. If the EFT cannot
be processed for technical reasons, the
copy will be processed in place of the
original check. If the Federal Reserve
Bank cannot complete the EFT because
of insufficient funds, it may attempt the
transfer up to two times.
