A cheque or check (American English; see spelling differences) is a document that orders a bank to pay a specific amount of money from a person's account to the person in whose name the cheque has been issued. The person writing the cheque, the drawer, has a transaction banking account (often called a current, cheque, chequing or checking account) where their money is held. The drawer writes the various details including the monetary amount, date, and a payee on the cheque, and signs it, ordering their bank, known as the drawee, to pay that person or company the amount of money stated.
What are the parts or elements of a cheque?
It is important for you to know the elements of a cheque to ensure that the cheque is properly written since a duly completed and signed cheque acts as an authority to the drawee bank to withdraw from your account for payment to the payee.
Name of your bank which is also called the "drawee bank" or paying bank
"Account Payee Only" crossing is a directive to the collecting bank to pay into the account of the payee
Payee is the person to whom the cheque is to be made. Ensure that the name of the person is correctly spelt and written close to the words "pay to". Draw a line on the space after the payee's name to avoid alteration
Date of the cheque. To be able to receive payment, the date must be the current date
The person who holds and presents the cheque at the bank. It is advisable to cross out "or bearer" to avoid any stolen cheque from being paid out
The payment amount written in words. The same value will be written in the box beside it. Ensure that the amount in words and figures are written close to the words "Ringgit Malaysia" and "RM" printed on the cheque. Do not leave any gap by drawing a line after them. Make sure that the amount in words and in figures tally, otherwise, the bank will return the cheque
Your signature as the "drawer" of the cheque
Serial number of the cheque. Each cheque has a different number for identification purposes
The drawee bank's state and branch code
Your current account number
The drawee bank's internal code for current account product
