The person(s) on the account that a check was drawn on. For example, Joe and Mary have a joint bank account and Joe has written a check for $1000. Because the account is set up as joint/or (Joe OR Mary have authority) instead of joint/and (Joe AND Mary have authority), Mary can request stop payment on the $1000 check.
A joint/or account requires either person's authority, whereas a joint/and account requires BOTH persons' authorities. Also, be advised that stop payments are not fully guaranteed. If any of the following factors are changed, the check may still be withdrawn from the account:
- Dollar amount is altered
- Check # indicated is incorrect
- Multiple attempts to withdraw funds
- Payee on check is altered
