Does a check a check you accept have to have your name on it?
No, the "Pay to the order of" line can be left blank. When you present the check at the bank that line must have been filled in or the bank will not cash it. It is common to leave that line blank when the vendor has a rubber stamp with their name. They will stamp it after you sign it. You can accept a check that somebody signs over to you. They would endorse the back after writing Pay to the order of "you". When you present that at the bank, the bank will ask you to endorse the check below the other party's endorsement. The bank will probably not cash it immediately unless you have sufficient funds in your account to cover the check. Some banks will refuse to accept a check that has been signed over.
