Float is chequebook money that appears on the books of both the cheque writer (the payor) and the cheque receiver (the payee) while a cheque is being processed. Federal Reserve float is float present during the Federal Reserve's cheque collection process. To promote efficiency in the payments system and provide certainly about the date that deposited funds will become available to the receiving depository institutions (and the payee), the Federal Reserve credits the reserve accounts of banks that deposit cheque according to a fixed schedule. However, processing certain cheques and collecting funds from the banks on which these cheques are written may take more time than the schedule allows.
