A nonsufficient funds (NSF) check is also known as which of the following?

A nonsufficient funds (NSF) check is commonly referred to as a bounced check. This term is used to describe a situation where a check cannot be processed because the account on which it is drawn does not have enough funds to cover the amount written. When a check bounces, it is returned to the payee's bank, which results in the check not being honored or processed for payment.

The term "bounced check" accurately conveys the idea that the check has been rejected due to insufficient funds, and it typically invokes immediate awareness of the financial problem involved. While "bad check" and "returned check" are related terms that can also describe checks that aren't honored, "bounced check" is the most widely used term to specifically indicate the NSF situation. Moreover, a "fraudulent check" refers to checks written with the intent to deceive or for criminal purposes, which is a different context entirely and does not pertain to the lack of sufficient funds.
