What is kiting a check ?

Kiting refers to the practice of depositing and drawing checks at 2 or more banks and taking advantage of the time it takes for the 2nd bank to collect funds from the 1st bank. It also is a bookkeeping trick to illegally increase the face value of a check by changing the numbers on the check.
