How to Write a Cheque in Words

Knowing how to write a cheque in Canada is essential for every citizen of Canada. There are several steps you need to follow in order to make your cheque legal and accepted. The first step is to have a ball point pen. Do not use a pencil or highlighter to write the cheque. The amount of the payment is also written in words. When writing the cheque, always remember to sign the document as it is required by law. In Canada, you must sign your cheque.



The second step is to write the amount in words. The dollar amount is written on the "pay to the order of" line, and the payee name is written after the amount. Using two decimals will allow you to avoid paying too much. When writing the amount, you can include a memo explaining why the money is being paid. The final step is to sign the cheque with the same signature as on your checking account. Otherwise, the check will be invalid.


After the payment amount is written, the cents are written on the pay to order of line. Adding an acronym can also be used, but you must be sure to sign the cheque. The last step in writing a cheque is to add a memo section. While it is not necessary, it may remind you or your recipient of the purpose of the check. This step is crucial for the security of the payment. Then, you can write the information on the reverse side of the cheque.
