If a check was wrote out on May 6, 2008 how long will it take for the check to clear??

Depends upon who you wrote the check to and how they processed it. If you write a check at Wal-Mart it is processed electronically and clears your account within minutes of presenting it. Most utilities and credit card companies now process checks electronically and they will clear a few minutes after the envelope is opened. The IRS strips checks from tax returns and processed them electronically. Once the return is actually opened -- which can take a couple of weeks if you filed late in the season -- it will clear almost immediately.If a check was wrote out on May 6, 2008 how long will it take for the check to clear??
Are you referring to the rebate check? If so, you can cash it immediately.If a check was wrote out on May 6, 2008 how long will it take for the check to clear??
if you are talking about a payment to the IRS...it usually clears within 1 day of receipt...they are pretty quick about processing checks.
If you are talking about a regular bank check it would be three to 7 days.
