In 2004 Congress passed the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, better known as Check 21. This allowed banks to accept the scanned image of a check in lieu of receiving the physical check.

Quick Update On Deposits

Our tale begins in December 1999…
Finally achieving some semblance of financial stability after a typically unhappy divorce followed by a year of complete apathy towards life I start looking once again to join the rest of society and open a bank account.

This means that I will be…
