Answer 1

Example of check:
................................................................................Date: 8-24-07
Pay to order of: Walmart...........................................$ 7.50
seven dollars and 50/100----------------------------------------------


For: do not have to put anything
unless you want (groc) .............. Sig: Sign your name

Answer 2

The correct terminology is Payee and Payor.
You are the Payor and the recipient of the check you write is the Payee.

Let's personalize this:
If I bought an item from you and paid by check, I would write after Pay to the Order of: (Your name)
One line down I would write in (longhand) the amount like this:
Thirty-three dollars---------------------- 33 / 100

PS: You can pay me for this brilliant advice now, the fee is $33.00. The Payee is Mr. B. Schmuck.

PPS: I do not accept post-dated checks.

Answer 3

Pay to the order of is who you're paying the money too, so put the name of the business or person u want to pay. So if you're paying your phone bill, on that line u would put the name of the phone company. If u want to write a note to remind yourself what the check was for, u would put that on the very bottom line to the left where it says "for" or "note".

Answer 4

In the line that says Pay to the Order of, you write in the name of the person, store or company you are writing the check to.

Answer 5

If you are paying your electric bill, put the name of the electric company in that space. Furthermore, they are known as the "payee". There is a blank space in the lower left corner of the check and your account number can be placed there so the company will know whose account to credit.

Answer 6

When you write a check you pay to the order of whomever it is you are purchasing it from, be that a person or a corporation or whatever it may be.

Answer 7

The name of the party you are paying. You are telling the bank to pay funds from your account "...to the order of" the person or party to whom you have written the check.

Answer 8

The name of the person or business you are writing the check to.

Answer 9

Pay to the order of...ME!

That's who you are making the check out to. eg: 1st National Bank, XYZ power and light, etc.

Answer 10

The name of the vendor who is expected to cash the check. If you are buying something at Macy's, then it would be "Pay to the order of Macy's."

Answer 11

the name of the person or business you are writing the check for.
