The Bank of Israel amended Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive no. 420 to implement Amendment 14 to the Checks without Cover Law, 5741-1981. Banking corporations are now required to digitally send notices to account holders or authorized signatories by 8:00 a.m. on the business day following a check presentation with insufficient funds. These notices must specify the check amount, deposit deadline, acceptable funding methods, and relevant legal clarifications regarding potential refusal reasons.
