Check Not Deposited

I wrote an out-of-state check that still has not been deposited. If the person to whom I wrote it deposits it tomorrow, how long will it take to come out of my account?

If the check is converted to an image and your bank accepts images for payment purposes, it could take very little time -- perhaps overnight -- for the check to arrive and claim part of your bank balance, but if the check is processed in more traditional ways, actually making the trip intact as a paper check, it could take from one day to a week, depending on the distances involved.
