In accordance with one or more embodiments, a method and system are provided for facilitating the output of an offer to an account holder of a financial account, which offer the account holder may accept via a check being presented by the account holder as payment for a transaction. For example, the account holder may alter an indicium on the check to indicate acceptance of the offer. An example of an offer is an offer to sell to the account holder transactional overdraft protection for the transaction for which a check is provided as payment. Another example of an offer to provide a benefit to the account holder in exchange for a commitment by the account holder to an obligation. Such an offer may be provided by, for example, a merchant different than the merchant at which the check is being provided as payment for a transaction.
