The bank has the choice to either pay the amount or not pay the amount. If it pays, an overdraft fee is charged to the account holder. If the bank returns the check without paying it, the account holder is charged a “bounced check,” or “insufficient funds,” fee. In addition, the person or store that the check was written to may charge the account holder a “returned check” fee. In order to prevent overdrafts and bounced checks, Kim has made some changes in how she manages her money. She is diligent about keeping her account register up-to-date. ------.
