YES! *** In 1994 The Gallup Organization, found nearly half of all consumers consider checks the MOST CONVENIENT way to pay for purchases; only cash came close to matching checks in popularity. Those consumers surveyed by Gallup reported checks were used to pay for purchases 48% of the time; only 15% reported using checks less than 1% of the time, while 10% said they use checks all of the time to pay for retail purchases. Overall, Gallup found, 33% of consumers use checks more than 25% of the time at the merchant check out. Convenience seems to be a big draw for check writing. Of those queried this year (1994) by Gallup's pollsters, 43% said they found it very inconvenient when retailers do not accept personal checks; only 24% said it was NOT inconvenient.

Sysops would never want to be put in the position of doing anything of a questionable nature. There are built in check and balances for large ticket items that are flagged in the system and voice verified. 3. Processing is regulated by N.A.C.H.A. (National Automated Clearing House Association). There are strict guidelines and policing within association. 4.

You have a full 30 days from the time of your BANK STATEMENT to request an adjustment or credit to YOUR account.
