Check 21 Overview 

Check 21 Overview

Course Description

The course provides an overview of the new Check 21 legislation that went into effect on October 28, 2004.  It covers the goals of the legislation, check truncation, substitute checks, consumer safeguards, expedited recredit procedures, and what banks must do to implement Check 21.  There is a Final Assessment that you can use to check your general understanding of Check 21 after completing the course.  This course has a somewhat different format than other ABA eLearning courses and will be replaced with a more typical ABA eLearning format some weeks after the legislation becomes effective.
