Non-Sufficient Funds - NSF

Categories: Banking

See: Insufficient Funds.

You wrote the check for $1,200 to put the down payment on Betsy, your new (used) Jeep. She’ll cost $11,000 when you’re done paying for her. But unfortunately, you only had a grand in your account. So the check for $1,200 is just too much. The cash you have in your Wells Fargo account is...not sufficient. Poor you.
