Below are the steps involved in the check clearing process.

1. Person A issues a check from Bank X to Person B

2. Person B deposits the check into his account with Bank Y

3. Bank Y Accepts the check and sends it to Bank X for verification

4. Bank X verifies the accuracy and legitimacy of the check including the signature and releases payment to Bank Y if person A has enough balance in his account to honor the check payment

5. Bank Y accepts the payment and credits it into the account of Person B
