Do you have to sign the bottom portion of a cashiers check before you give it to the payee?

Yes, you have to sign a cashiers check before you give it to a payee. Some cashiers checks do not have to be signed. If there is a space to sign, you need to sign.


How do you change the payee on a cashiers check?

You cannot generally change the payee on a cashiers check without it looking like fraud. Contact the issuer of the cashier's check in order to void the check and reissue.


What is safer a cashiers check or a personal check?

A cashiers check is far safer than a personal check, whether you are the payee or the payor. If you are the payee (the one receiving the check) and receive a personal check that is insufficient, you have very little recourse in obtaining the money owed to you. If you are paid with a cashiers check, it is guaranteed funds, since the bank will only issue the check with available funds (meaning it has to be paid for with cash or purchased at the person's bank, where the bank can verify there are sufficient funds in their account to cover the amount of the check). If you are the payor (the one paying by check), the bank can trace the check for you if the person to whom you were paying loses it or says they never received it. Also, if the check does get lost, it will be far more difficult for someone to forge their signature to it and cash it. Also, a cashiers check does not have as much personal identification on it like a personal check does (address, checking account number, etc.).


Who endorses on the back of a cashiers check?

Negotiable instruments may only ever be endorsed by the payee (ie. the person who can cash it), but many countries provide that cashier's checks are not endorsable.


Is the payee the owner of a bad check?

What check does not require a payee?

All checks require a payee. Payee is the person who is going to use the check and get the money. You cannot issue a check that does not have a payee.

Can a cashiers check with payee name on it be returned to your bank for a refund?

Yes it can as long as you have identification as the purchaser. Basically, this is correct - assuming the check was drawn on the same bank you're being identified at you're at. I.E. You purchased a cashier's check for cash at 1st hawaiian bank, but you live in Texas and bank locally at Texas Cattle Credit Union. Your credit union may or may not elect to cash a check drawn on 1st hawaiian bank depending on both their policies and your account standing/relationship with them.


How do you get cashier checks?

It's easiest if you have a bank account, then just take it to your bank, endorse the check and deposit it. If you don't have an account you'll have to find one of those places that charges to cash a check.


What is a payee?

The payee is the one that receives a payment. On a check or money order, the payee is the person the check is made out to. This is the person who can cash the check, or deposit it into his account. On a promissory note he is the one who receives the money from the loan.
