Limited Federal Reserve powers on check clearance
The Supreme Court ruled the Federal Reserve Board has only limited authority to enforce par clearance of checks by non-member banks. It upheld a Georgia court ruling supporting the Atlanta Federal Bank in seeking par clearance and a North Carolina law allowing banks to levy an exchange charge for cashing checks. The decision confirms the board did not have to establish universal par clearance and that non-member banks may set charges, while member banks’ fees remain board-regulated.
