This new system allows bank to legally clear checks using transmission of an electronic image without having to deliver the physical check itself between banks to clear them.
What this means is that checks can literally clear in minutes now.
So floating will become a thing of the past.
Vice versa banks will no longer be able to justify putting holds on deposits, although they aren't under a legal requirement to do that under the new law. (which was written by the bank lobbyists obviously so they can still benefit from the float on your deposits that they get away with).
It will also be harder to put a stop payment on a check now.
This system begins October 21.
