How long can you keep a check before cashing it at a check cashing store?

Most checks become stale dated (meaning they cannot be negotiated) after six months. Some checks, especially business checks and U.S. Treasury checks, have a longer life of up to one year. And some checks, which would specifically have a "VOID AFTER" or similar notice on the front, expire more quickly.


You lost a cashiers check and the bank wants a surety bond to re issue the check Do you have to buy a surety to get the check re issued?

Yes. Banks are regulated by the "Uniform Commercial Code". This is a very lengthly Bank Rule Book. This book limits the reasons Banks can use to place a Stop Payment Order on their Cashier's Checks. This is because Cashier's Checks represent guaranteed funds. If stop payments could be easily placed on all Cashier's Checks, the Cashiers Check would lose it's Guaranteed status, and therefore be pointless. Unfortunately, a customer losing the check is not an applicable reason for a Stop Payment Order. If the check the customer lost does get presented to the Bank, the Bank must pay the check (as long as it is endorsed properly). They would also have to pay the reissued check. If that would happen, without a surity bond, the Bank would be at a loss for the cost of one check. With the surity bond, the Bank can collect the value of one of the checks. So, Banks need a Surity Bond to prevent them from assuming the risk of paying a check twice.


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.).
