The person authorized to write checks on an account is called the account holder or account operating customer. He/she is the only person authorized to write checks on that account. Nobody else can do so. (In case of a joint account, all holders of the account can write checks)
The person added to an account is typically referred to as a "authorized user" or "account holder," depending on the context. In financial accounts, they may also be called a "co-signer" or "joint account holder." This individual usually has certain permissions, such as making transactions or accessing account information, as defined by the account owner.
The person authorized to write checks must sign them to validate the transaction and confirm that the funds are being released from the account. This signature acts as a legal endorsement, ensuring that the check is legitimate and can be processed by the bank. Without the authorized signature, the check may be considered invalid, and the payment would not be honored. It's crucial for organizations to maintain strict control over who has check-signing authority to prevent fraud.
