Whereas the customer of the bank, who drew the check in the first place, they do have choice: and they are definitely either paying some kind of fees to the bank to have a checking account there, or have a minimum balance which allows the bank to speculate or invest their money and pocket that interest, or probably both, that is how banking works.
