• Make sure that the date is completed correctly
• Make sure that there are no differences between the written and the numeric amount and that there are no spaces left between the words or the numbers

• Make sure that your signature is consistent with the specimen the Bank has in its possession
• Cross the cheque if you wish the payment to be effected through a payee’s Bank account
• Fill in and keep the cheque stub that contains the details and cheque reference number for reconciliation purposes
• Use ballpoint pen, instead of a rollerball one
