Notice to Customers Making Payment by Check
When you use your checks to make payments, banks will now convert them to images and electronically transfer funds (EFT) in accordance with the 2004 Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21 Act) affecting all banks. Therefore, effective May 4, 2006, when you send FEMA a check, our bank will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your account 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 no longer receive your original checks back. Our bank will destroy your original check, but will keep the copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, by this notice, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If the EFT cannot be completed because of insufficient funds, our bank will try to make the transfer up to 2 times after which it will be returned to your bank for insufficient funds at which time your bank may charge you a return fee which generally differs by each bank.
This notice is provided in accordance with the Department of the Treasury regulations at 31 CFR 210, Appendix C.
