1- Date: Top right. You can put the current date or post-dated date.

2- Payee name: Write the name of the individual or company you are paying.

3- Amount in digits: Write in the amount box and preferably to the left side to prevent any forgery by anyone adding a digit there.

4- Amount in words: It is crucial to write the amount in words to avoid confusion. The amount in words is more important than the amount in the digit. The amount in the word overwrites if you make a mistake in the amount in digits.

5- Memo: This is optional but good to have it to track what for you made that check. We always recommend writing a detailed memo.

6- Signature: This is important to have a signature on the check. Otherwise, it will not be valid. Use the same signature you have in the Bank File.
