How To Write A Check

Step 2: Pay To Line

Fill outline that says “Pay to the order of,” and write the name of the person or organization you are paying. In this case, if you don’t know the exact name of the person or organization, you can also write “cash.” However, this can be risky if the check is lost or stolen. Anyone can cash or deposit a check made out to “cash.”

Step 4: Amount Line

Spell up the numbers and write the cents as a fraction. Write out the amounts using words to avoid fraud and confusion. The amount you write in words will legally be the number of your checks. Also, use all capital letters, which are harder to alter. Finally, draw a line after the amount to fill up the rest of the space to keep someone adding text.

For example, to spell up $100.15 as ‘ONE HUNDRED AND 15/100.’

Step 6: Signature

This step is essential, and the check will not be valid without a signature. Sign the check legibly on the line in the bottom right corner. Significantly, use the same name and signature that you have on the file at your bank.
