When a bank certifies a check, it verifies that the signer has enough funds in their account to cover the check and sets aside those funds specifically for that check. This means the bank guarantees the check's amount, and the recipient (Bob, in this case) can demand payment from the bank directly, rather than relying on the personal funds of the check writer (Jack).
