Many businesses charge customers a $20-30 fee if they write checks that cannot be cashed due to non-sufficient funds. What are the justifications for the fee?

What will be an ideal response?


When a business deposits at its bank checks that cannot clear (NSF checks), the bank may charge a fee. The business has to make new entries in its account ledger and in the patient account record, contact the customer about the NSF check, request a new payment, and process that second payment. All those tasks take time and cost money. Finally, the delayed payment reduces cash flow and may contribute to the need to borrow money to meet payment obligations.
