Cheque Books
Cheque books are like cash, especially if they fall into the wrong person’s hands. To protect your cheque book, follow these simple tips:
- Keep your cheque book in a safe and secure place.
- When you first receive your cheque book, ensure all cheques are present. Report any discrepancies to us immediately.
- Never pre-sign cheques.
- Never give a person a signed cheque and ask them to complete the details.
- Do not use pencil to write your cheques. Use a biro or felt tip pen.
