要約
NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds Fee). NSF indicates a penalty fee charged when a check or preauthorized electronic payment is presented for payment but returned unpaid due to a lack of available funds.

NSF is not a merchant purchase or product cost. It is an internal bank fee for a returned unpaid payment attempt.
NSF の詳細解説
An NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds or Insufficient Funds) fee is assessed by your financial institution when an incoming check, ACH transfer, or recurring bill debit exceeds your available account balance and your bank declines to pay it, returning the item unpaid to the merchant.
Unlike an overdraft fee (where the bank chooses to pay the transaction on your behalf into a negative balance), an NSF fee occurs when the bank rejects the payment outright.
Under CFPB supervisory guidance and regulatory crackdowns, many major U.S. banks have eliminated or reduced NSF fees on consumer accounts.

- ステップ 1 Look at the entry immediately preceding or accompanying the NSF line to identify the check number or merchant whose payment was returned unpaid.
- ステップ 2 Check your bank's fee schedule to understand the exact fee amount charged (typically $10–$35 at institutions that still assess NSF fees).
- ステップ 3 Contact the merchant who attempted the charge immediately to arrange alternate payment before they assess a separate merchant return fee or re-present the item (see RCK).
