Because you have an account that allows overdrafts, whereas the customer does not. You won't bounce a check unless you go over the overdraft amount (usually $500). Your customer will bounce a check because he doesn't have overdraft protection, or if he does have overdraft he is already over his limit.

BUT When my CUSTOMER writes a check without having enough money in his account, I lose?
