How do I write a check securely?

Write the check legibly, without large spaces that could allow for the addition of words or numbers.

Steps

1. Write the payee's name, the amount in both words and numerals, and the date accurately.

2. Sign it using the form approved by the bank.

3. Never sign a blank check, and never leave the payee or amount fields blank.

4. If a necessary correction is required, ask the bank about the acceptable method instead of randomly scratching it out.

5. Keep a record of the check, including its number, amount, and payee, and ensure sufficient funds are available when it is due.
