My bank reversed a deposit I made two weeks ago with a message saying it was "a mistake." Can they really take money back like that?

It's a nasty surprise. You make a deposit, the money shows up, and then two weeks later your bank pulls it back and calls it a mistake. In many cases, yes, a bank can reverse a deposit if it was posted in error, if the check bounces, or if the bank later discovers fraud or a duplicate credit.
