What is a cash check?
A check that is not crossed and marked 'Not Negotiable' may be taken into a bank (for example) and exchanged for it's value in cash 'across the counter'. A check that has been crossed and is marked 'Not Negotiable' (this can be either pre-printed by the issuing financial institution onto a book of otherwise 'blank' (no information or value) checks, or hand-written by the issuer) may only be paid into the payee's bank account. The proceeds of such a check will only be available to the payee via his/her bank account once the check has 'cleared' (i.e. the bank has verified that there are sufficient funds available in the account of the 'issuer' to cover the value of the check and then the value is transferred into the account of the payee). Via this distinction, it is possible for a check issuer to 'build in' a degree of security into a 'Non Negotiable' check compared with a 'cash' check.
What are the three parties to a check?
drawer, payee, and bank
Who is the payer of a check?
The Payer of a check is the person who is paying money for the check. That is the person who has issued the check. For ex: I owe you $1000 and I give you a check for it from my bank account, I become the payer of the check and you will become the payee.
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.
Who has the liability of endorsement on a deposited check?
The payee, who is the person the check is written to. If they don't sign the back of the check before they deposit it, then the bank the check is drawn on (where the person who wrote the check banks at) can return the check for up to 7 years after it is deposited into the payees account. If that happens, then the bank where the payee banks at (where the check was deposited) will usually debit your account for the amount of the check. Also, if a check is made out to more than one person and includes the word "and" between the persons names, then both must sign or it must be deposited into an account owned by all payees listed on the check and stamped by the bank. If the word "or" is between the names, then only one payee need sign it. If it is made payable to a business or trust, then it must go into a business or trust account. It cannot go into the personal account of the business owner or of a trustee.
What if I write a personal check and my account doesn't cover it will it still cash?
Your bank may choose to cash it, at their discretion, and assess a fee on your account which could be from $20-40 depending on your bank's fee schedule. Or, your bank may choose to return the check to the payee (whoever you wrote it to). In this circumstance, if the payee presents the check for payment at your bank, they will likely be told to return to you for an explanation of why they are unable to cash the check. But if they cash or deposit it at another bank and the check is returned unpaid, they will be charged a "returned item" fee by that bank and will probably be quite unhappy with you, and may even request that you pay the fee in addition to paying the check.
