Ensure the front of the check is signed by the customer
The date and check amount are accurate

If a customer disputes a check, the funds will be returned to the customer’s account. If your account can’t cover the return then you will be responsible for the negative balance on the account. Please note, not all disputes will result in the funds being returned to the customer’s account.
