How Can I Verify That A Checking Account Number On A Check Is Valid And An Open Account?
I am a merchant in California, and we often are offered personal checks from the tourist crowd who frequent our establishment. I would like to be able to take this form of payment, and if the account is a valid account, I would be happy to take this as a payment. Can I call an 800 number, especially after hours, or is there a website that I can access to verify the validity of these checking accounts?


You know, I do in fact take advantage of that opportunity whenever the intended sale is during working hours. But, so many times they will stop by our place of business on the weekends and even late at night. It is during these times, when there is no one at the bank, that I am in a dilemma over. Any further ideas??
