This study aims to study the impact of the Corona pandemic on returned checks at Palestinian banks. The data related to the number of infected people and the number of days of closure for each month were collected to measure the extent of its impact on returned checks in light of the outbreak of the epidemic. The statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS program for this data and also data was collected related to the measures taken by the Palestinian Monetary Authority in light of the pandemic, and the following results were reached: -

• There is no effect and relationship to the number of infected people on the number of returned checks, as the analysis showed an increase in infected people with an accelerated rate, compared with a decrease in the number of returned checks during the same periods.
