Simple steps to create amazing results
Start by filling in today's date in the top right corner of the check. Use the format MM/DD/YYYY or write out the month for clarity.
On the line that says 'Pay to the Order of,' write the name of the person or business receiving the $200. Use their full legal name to avoid confusion.
Write '200.00' in the small box on the right side. On the longer line below, write 'Two Hundred and 00/100' dollars. Sign the check in the bottom right corner to complete it.
Powerful capabilities at your fingertips
Always write $200 as '200.00' in the numeric box with the decimal point and cents, even if it's an even dollar amount. This prevents anyone from altering the amount.
Write 'Two Hundred and 00/100' on the amount line, drawing a line through any remaining space. The fraction format (00/100) is the standard banking practice for representing cents.
Don't forget to fill in the memo line for your records, ensure all information is legible, and never sign a blank check. Keep your checkbook balanced by recording each transaction immediately.
