While personal checks and money orders are not guarranteed by banks, a cashiers check is. A cashiers check is written by a financial institution/bank on its own funds. The check is then signed by a representative of the financial institution/bank and made payable to a third-party.
A cashier's check is secured, with the funds being guaranteed, because the amount of the check must first be deposited by the individual into the issuing institution's own account. The person or business to whom the check is made out will receive the funds no matter what.
cashiers or bank check!
An international certified bank draft is simply a check guaranteed, and issued from a foreign bank. The certified bank draft should be easier to cash than a personal check.
A bank draft is a check drawn on a bank's funds. It is used to pay for something as guaranteed funds. Common uses included paying for property and vehicles.
If you don't have any balance in your account and still you want the bank to pass the check you want a "Payment Guaranteed Check". A Payment guaranteed check is a check that bank will honor and pay without referring to its account balance. Special comment (i.e. "Payment Guaranteed") will be printed on the face of the check. Correct signature, amounts in words & numbers, date is the only thing the bank will prefer. Only a few, highly stable, valuable customers will have such a check and that is also as an offer proposed by the bank itself to the account holder. Please refer your bank's web site/branch for eligibility conditions. Only a few banks with high stability are allowed to issue such checks and most of the time the check is a crossed one. However it is common that the bank will impose some limitations on how much checks customer can use, maximum value of a cheque etc...
A bank draft is basically very similar to a check that has been written by the bank rather than any one individual. This means that it is guaranteed against the funds of the bank and so will not bounce or not be paid.
Only the bank can certify a check, or someone at the bank. Usually, the bank will not certify a personal check, they will issue what is called a "certified check". A certified check is guaranteed to have available funds by the bank that certifies it. Certified means the funds are held aside. Anyone with a certified check made out to them can go to that bank and collect cash. In days of banking past, you could have a personal or business check certified by the bank, and they would stamp the check "certified" and hold the funds aside on that item. Now, the bank will just issue a certified check after taking the money from your account and the certified check will be drawn on the bank's account. This answer is for the U.S. banking system.
