Writing Cheques

When writing a cheque, the amount of money has to be written twice. In the box to the right, it is written in numbers. On the line underneath it is written in words. The cents amount is written in numbers over 100, because there is 100 cents in each dollar.

The different parts of a cheque include:

• The Cheque Number is found in the top right corner

• The Date is the date on which the cheque is written

• Pay To The Order of is the person/business to whom you are paying money.
