Are checks written by a depositor and paid by the bank?

Yes, a person with a bank account (a depositor) can write a check against that account for a sum of money. The person given the check (who the check is made out to) then presents it to their bank and the banks between them move the money from the account of the person who wrote the check to the account of the person who was given the check.


What does it mean to cash in a check?

Cashing a check means converting a instrument of money like a check to the money it is worth. Let us say you get a check for $1000 from a friend and you deposit it into your account with your bank, you will get the money deposited into your account. This is called Cashing a check.


Are bank checks assets or liabilities to banks?

Neither.The liability for a bank is the actual checking or savings account (demand account), as this is money that is owed to the depositor. A bank check is simply a way to demand payment from the bank's liability account (or the depositor's asset account). The check by itself is not an additional liability to the bank above and beyond the actual account balance.


If there is no money in a checking account can you cash a check?

There are a couple ways to answer this question. 1) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN OUT TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but have no money in YOUR account: Unless it is a government check or a payroll check you will not be able to cash it. Most banks now require you to provide your Social Security Number when cashing it instead of your account number (since there is no money in your account to "hold the check" against.) IF you still need to cash it you can always bring it to the bank that it was "drawn off of" on every check it says what bank that persons account is at. 2) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN YOU TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but the person whose account it's coming from does not have enough money (or no money) you'll still be able to cash it, however the person whose account its coming from will be hit with an overdraft fee. Also, when you bring it to your bank to cash it and it is "drawn off" a different bank the money may be drawn out of YOUR OWN account. Banks dont like giving out money for free. I highly suggest you bring it to the bank it was drawn off of to avoid any problems. 2) IF YOU WROTE OUT A CHECK.. and dont have enough money in your account the check might go through, but you will be hit with a big overdraft fee for going below $0.


How do you cash a check someone wrote you?

There are two ways to do this. If you have a bank account of your own, and if your bank account has as much money or more, as the amount of the check, then you can take it to your bank and they will cash it for you. If you do not have such a bank account, your alternative is to take the check to the bank which issued the check (the address is printed on the check) and to also take legal identification with you (such as a driver's license or a passport) and they will cash it for you. I will also note that if neither of these alternatives is going to work for you, you might consider depositing the check in your account, or opening a bank account in which to deposit the check, rather than cashing it. It will clear, usually within a week, and you can then withdraw the money from your account. You do still need ID to open an account, however. Without ID, the world of banking is closed to you. Banks need to be able to confirm your identity.
