What if a check, EFT transaction, or credit/debit card transaction is reported as having nonsufficient funds (NSF)?

Any transaction reported as having nonsufficient funds (NSF) will be considered an extension of credit, in violation of RCW 66.28.300. If a transaction is reported as NSF:
(1) The retailer must pay the full amount of the transaction to the industry member by 3 p.m. on the first business day following receipt of the NSF report.
(2) Until the NSF transaction is paid:
(a) The industry member or spirits retailer licensee who received the NSF transaction will not deliver any spirits, beer, or wine to the retailer; and
(b) It is the responsibility of the retailer to not receive any spirits, beer, or wine from any industry member or spirits retailer licensee.
