Paying by Checks

Every business man finds it necessary to keep a certain amount of money in a bank. When he wishes to make a payment, he usually writes an order directing his bank to pay the amount to some particular person.

The money which is put into a bank is called a deposit and the person who puts in the money is called a depositor.

A written order made by a depositor on his bank, directing the bank to pay money to a certain person, is called a check.

NOTE. Every depositor receives a book of blank checks. These checks are attached to stubs, which are left in the book when the checks are torn out, with a record of the number of the check, the date, the name of the person to whom it is to be paid, and the purpose for which it is given.

[blocks in formation]

In the above check, Wilbur Colby, a depositor, orders his bank, the Chatham National Bank, to pay Albert Dalton $60.40.

Wilbur Colby is called the drawer.

Albert Dalton is called the payee.

Before a check is cashed it must be indorsed. This means that the payee must write his name on the back of the check (indorse it) before his bank or any other person will accept it.

The indorser is responsible for the payment of the check if the drawer fails to pay it. Thus, in the check below, if Ernest O. Thompson fails to pay the amount of the check, the bank will hold the indorser, J. H. White, responsible. The holder of a check thus has a claim against every person who indorses the check.

[blocks in formation]

1. Every check must have the following written on it:

a. Date.

b. Name of bank.

c. Name of payee.

d. Amount of money in figures and in words.

e. Name of drawer.

2. Before filling out a check, fill out the stub. It is an important record.

3. Any change made on a check makes the check of no value.

4. Before transferring a check to another person or to a bank always indorse it. Before accepting a check made out to another person, see that it is indorsed.
