Even though most of the banks provide banking and fund transferring
facilities through internet, cheques(or check - USA) are most preferred
ways of making and assuring payments. Cheques are very important and
you should be very much careful while handling and signing your cheques.


I have some safety tips to share with you for improving your cheque signing and issuing habits.

• Never
  ever issue a blank signed cheque: Even if you are giving to your close
  friends or relatives write the name of payee, date and amount before
  issuing the cheque.
• Record your cheque details: Always enter the cheque number, amount, date and payee in the page provided in your cheque book.
• Never
  ever sign your cheque leaf while it is inside cheque book: If you sign
  a cheque by keeping it over other cheques in the cheque book, your
  signature may get stamped over other cheques also. So always sign your
  cheques after detaching from your cheque book, and also make sure that
  the signature is not getting stamped over any other paper or surface
  while signing.
• Always keep your cheque book in safe and secure place.
• Better cross non-cash cheques before issuing.

Try using these tips and also share with your friends if it finds useful.
