Thanks for all the suggestions. My bank transitioned over 3yrs ago, but I ran out of checks and need to pay someone quickly.

It shouldn't be a problem but it would be better to destroy them and have the bank replace them with current ones.
I believe that (provided all the relevant information is there) it is still legal to write a cheque on the back of a pig!

I have went through 3 bank owner names and used the same checks for over 7 years. They work fine, the numbers are all transcoded to the account # just like ATM's, the system will recognize most However, look in your daily or weekly newpaper or junk mail, they always have a leaflet to buy checks cheap, and you just send a voided deposit ticket or voided check for the numbers, they come in a few weeks for 1/4 price the banks charge for double the number of checks. And the selections are way better too.
Plus never had a problem buying by mail, unlike online with pay pal or those bank account scam mails either!

If your account number and routing numbers are still the same. Or, if not, if the bank says they are still accepting the old numbers. Best to call and ask.

Yes, I have done this a few times now as long as your routing number and account number do not change.

My banks name changed 2 years ago, and my checks still have their old name on it.
If all the other information remains the same it shouldn't matter.

the bank usually allows you to use them while they are in a transitional state but no longer..they should have sent you this information when they were bought out or changed names..call your banks customer service
