Is there a limit to how much you can spend in a day with a paper check from a checking account?

Question

I need to pay my college $2135 and they accept checks online. since I cant pay with my check card all at once can I pay with a check all at once?

Answer 1

That is such a good question. I'll offer my thoughts, although I'd suggest calling your bank to be sure. Otherwise, as with my daughter, you face grave credit rating consequences from a bounced check, not to mention fees galore (which in and of themselves can add up to an overdrawn account).

Usually the limit on a debit card applies to an ATM withdrawal. Unless you know of continuing limitations at the time your account was first opened (e.g., it's one you set-up as a teenager that you still use), a check should be fine as long as your funds cover the amount. Sometimes there is a minimum balance required to keep an account open, though, so that would be my main concern.

Take care, sweetie. Have fun learning..

Answer 2

ya I paid off a student loan with a check of about $3000 in one payment. You can write a check for however much you got, debit cards usually have a limit of $5000 a day

Answer 3

Yes you can

Answer 4

As long as you have the funds to cover it, you can write any amount you wish on the check.  Some banks have a limit on the NUBMER of checks you can write in a month.

Answer 5

You can pay with a check but if you want touse your card you can call your banks customer service line and they can temporarily raise your point of sale limit.

Answer 6

Yes, you can pay entire amount.

I suggested to provide routing number and account number, when asked in another question. That is the same thing as accepting checks on-line.  Isn't this a dorm fee, due by Friday ?

Answer 7

~~You can write a check for as much as you want providing you have the funds to cover it in your checking account. There are no limits.~~
