Stop Payment Process and Duration
To request a stop payment on a check at Chase Bank, you'll need to provide specific information about the check, such as the check number, amount, recipient's name, and date.
You can initiate a stop payment by visiting a bank branch or contacting Chase Bank by phone and speaking to a human being. This is crucial, as you won't be able to get the process started with a recording.
If the check has not yet been cleared by the bank, a stop payment order will flag the check and prevent it from clearing your account. However, if the check has cleared, you'll need to contact the recipient to seek a resolution.
Stop payment orders aren't permanent, and they usually expire after a certain amount of time. According to state law, banks must maintain written stop payment orders for at least six months.
How it Works
To request a stop payment, you'll need to provide specific information about the check to your bank, such as the check number, amount, recipient's name, and date.
The bank will then flag the check and prevent it from clearing your account, but if they're unable to locate the check, they'll continue to look for it for six months, although policies differ among banks.
If the check is never found, the request for stop payment usually expires, and the check could potentially be paid.
You'll need to follow up in writing after requesting a stop payment to ensure it's processed correctly.
Some banks may charge a fee for issuing a stop payment, so be sure to check with your bank about their policies and any associated costs.
The process of issuing a stop payment order varies based on your bank or financial institution, so it's essential to contact them to learn more about their specific procedures.
How Long Does It Last?
Stop payment orders aren't permanent, they usually expire after a certain amount of time.
State law requires banks to maintain stop payment orders received in writing for at least six months.
After that, the check may be cashed, though many financial institutions may not cash checks older than six months.
Verbal stop payment orders expire after 14 days, according to federal regulations.
It's essential to check with your financial institution about its stop payment policies, so you understand how long your stop payment will last.
After
After you've initiated the stop payment process, the bank will review your request and verify the details.
The bank will typically take 1-5 business days to process the stop payment, depending on the bank's policies and the type of account you have.
Once the stop payment is processed, the bank will notify the merchant that the payment has been stopped.
The merchant will then be required to return the funds to your account.
The entire process usually takes around 7-10 business days to complete.
Keep in mind that the stop payment process may be delayed if the bank is unable to verify the details or if the merchant disputes the stop payment.
