What is the difference between a cashiers check and a certified check and a bank check?

There is no real difference, just different names for the same idea. A cashier's/bank/certified check is a check which a guarantor, normally a bank, has written in exchange for cash or immediate withdrawal from a depositor's account. The funds are collected in advance by the bank so the payee (to whom the check is payable) has guarantee that they will be paid when the check is properly negotiated.

Where to cash a cashiers check?

A cashier's check has guaranteed funds... any bank, etc should cash it for you. I live in Colorado Springs and I have been to 5 banks and none will cash a Cashiers Check without an account. - - - Then something is amiss: "In the United States, under Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a cashier's check is effective as a note of the bank. Also, according to Regulation CC (Reg CC) of the Federal Reserve, cashier's checks are recognized as "guaranteed funds" and amounts under $5000 are not subject to deposit holds. The length of a hold varies (2 days to 2 weeks) depending on the bank. It is not clear what length of time may pass before a bank can be held responsible for accepting a bad cashier's check." I've never heard of a bank denying a cashier's check ... perhaps you are attempting to cash it at a failing institution, or the check is fraudulent???? The reason I requested a Cashiers Check was because I was under the same impression. If you would like three of the banks I went to were TCP, Academy and Wells Fargo. I Had to open an account at Wells Fargo to get it cashed. They were the only ones that were at least nice about it. - - - Intersting. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I've never run into that before.


Is a counter check the same as a cashiers check?

No. A cashier's check is a check for which funds have already been collected by the guarantor (the bank who issues the cashier's check). They are purchased with cash or by immediate withdrawal from a depositor's account at that bank. Most people and businesses would prefer to receive a cashier's check than any other type of check. A counter check is a check that is used when a depositor has no remaining pre-printed checks. It is given "over the counter", so to speak, at the bank when a depositor must write a check but has none left of their own. A counter check is a blank document on which the depositor's account number and name is hand-written or encoded by a bank officer. Many businesses will not accept counter checks.

Will a cashiers check clear same day?

Assuming you try depositing a cashiers check from another bank into your bank account, it is unlikely to clear that same day. Even if your bank makes the funds available to you in a day or two, even that does not mean the check has necessarily cleared. I asked this question of an employee at a major bank at which I have an account (because I want to sell some large-ticket items for substantial amounts of money to a private party). She basically said, when the cashiers check actually clears depends on the bank that issued it. Even if your bank makes the funds available to you within a couple of days due to regulations imposed on them, the check may not actually clear (due to fraud or whatever). Your best bet is to physically visit the issuing bank, show them ID to prove who you are, and get them to cash the check immediately. They will then remove the funds from the account in question, and issue you a check from the bank directly. That new check will be essentially as good as cash.
