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. Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on July 14, 2006. David R.
