What is a check that cannot be covered by the funds in your account?

A check that cannot be covered by the funds in your account is referred to as a "bounced check" or "NSF check" (non-sufficient funds). When you attempt to withdraw or spend an amount greater than your available balance, the bank will typically decline the transaction, and you may incur fees for the overdraft. This situation can lead to potential legal issues if the recipient of the check attempts to cash it. It's essential to monitor your account balance to avoid such occurrences.
