Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to general banking practices, a stale check is one that has been outstanding for more than six months. Banks are not obligated to pay such checks because they may have been lost or stolen, or the account may have been closed in the meantime. Therefore, it is important to deposit or cash a check promptly to avoid the risk of it becoming stale.
