    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 call what ever bank it is on the check and let them know you had received a check and you want to verify funds on this check you have then give them the number and amount

    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??

      Now I know that there are some banks who still have an 800 number, but they are few and far between anymore. Hasn't someone put together a web site for this information yet? It really seems like a no-brainer. I, for one, would be happy to pay a monthly fee for this service. Hey, wait a minute. . . . . . Maybe I just changed businesses......... Hmmm..,,, say 20 bucks a month for what, like a thousand clients to begin with. In no time at all, I'm gonna be livin' the high life. Thanks everyone.
