Pay to order on the back of a check is meant to sign a check over to someone that is not on the face of the check so they can cash or deposit it. Some banks do not allow this so check with the individual bank before you sign it over.

The full phrase is "Pay To the Order Of," followed by the blank for the payee's name. The phrase is used because a check is an order for a bank or other financial institution to pay money drawn from the payer's account when the payee desires it.

When can checks be made payable to Cash?

A check made out to cash is "bearer paper" it can be cashed by anyone who holds it. An equivalent bearer check is, "Pay to the order of a happy birthday" written on the front, or, "Pay to the order of Congratulations on graduating." Your check is the same as cash, so to prevent theft while waiting to cash the check, sign the back, "Pay to the order of (your name)". You will then have to produce identification to cash the check as it is now an "order instrument" cashable (or assignable) only by you. You do not have to go to any particular bank, even if your name isn't "cash". As for depositing it to your account, just sign the check (your name) and deposit it as you would any other check"! !
