Cashier's Checks

If you’re considering getting a cashier’s check or confused about how the process works, MyBankTracker has updated its basic guide on some frequently-asked cashier's check questions.

Also, check out cashier's check fees from the top biggest banks in America.

What is a cashier’s check?

A cashier’s check is a check that is issued by a bank, in which funds are guaranteed by the bank since it comes from the financial institution.

Cashier’s checks are usually necessary when a person needs to make a large purchase (think a house or a car) and the recipient requires a guarantee they will get paid.

A cashier’s check provides good reassurance that the check will clear.

Once issued, a cashier’s check must be cashed within 90 to 120 days of the date of issuance.

What’s the difference between a cashier’s check and money order?

Both cashier’s checks and money orders essentially do the same thing, but the difference is that a cashier’s check is written out by a bank, whereas a money order is not.

Both payment methods are drawn from funds that are guaranteed: a cashier’s check is guaranteed by the issuing bank, and a money order has already been paid for by the person who purchased it.

A cashier’s check can only be acquired from a bank, but a money order can be purchased at a variety of locations, including the post office, credit union, grocery store, and more.

Money orders usually have dollar limits on them, but cashier’s checks can go for much bigger amounts.

How do you get a cashier’s check?

There are varying policies at different banks, but there are a couple of options of getting a cashier’s check.

If you don’t have a bank account, you can go to a bank to see if they issue checks for non-banking customers, and if they do, there’s a chance you might be charged a fee for getting the cashier’s check.

If you’re not a customer of the bank you’re purchasing a cashier’s check from, you will need to have the full amount of the check at the time of purchase.

If you’re getting a cashier’s check directly from the institution you’re already banking with, make sure you have the full amount available in your account.

When you get a cashier’s check, you will need to know the exact name of the person you’re making the check out to.

Once you get the check, remember to retain a portion of the check for your records.

How much do they cost to buy?

If you’re already a customer at the bank you’re seeking a cashier’s check from, you can find the cashier’s check fee in your checking account fee schedule.

We compiled a chart of the fees at the ten largest banks in America, and the prices range from $7-$10.

You should always check with your bank before acquire a cashier’s check.

In addition, if you are not a customer of the bank where you’re buying the cashier’s check, the bank might have different fee structures.

Sometimes banks charge a flat rate, and sometimes they will charge a percentage of the check total.

Some banks might refuse to grant a cashier’s check to customers who are not already banking with them.

How do you cancel a cashier’s check?

If you are still in possession of a cashier’s check and you want to cancel it, bring it back to the bank where you originally got the check and you will usually have to fill out a deposit slip to have the funds put back into your account.

A teller will give you further direction on what to write on the backside of the check.

What do you do if you lose a cashier’s check?

If you have misplaced a cashier’s check, go to the bank and put a stop payment on it.

There will be a fee to stop the payment and it will usually be pricier than to stop payment on a regular personal check.

Different banks have different regulations, but once a cashier’s check has been canceled, you have to wait for a period of up to 90 days before the bank can issue you a refund.

What are some cashier’s checks scams to watch out for?

There is an increasing number of frauds related to cashier’s checks, so it’s always important to beware of scams.

One popular scam involves a person paying you with a cashier’s check for more than the amount agreed, and then asking you to cash the check and pay them the difference.

A scam artist replies to a classified ad or auction posting, offers to pay for the item with a check, and then comes up with a reason for writing the check for more than the purchase price.

The scammer asks the seller to wire back the difference after depositing the check.

The seller does it, and later, when the scammer’s check bounces, the seller is left liable for the entire amount.

I am having an issue right now. I was convinced to do a cashiers check by bank for $10k I went to purchase a car from dealer and ended up returning the car and getting the check back. I took to my bank 3 weeks ago to put back in my account .They said funds will be released to me next week . A week passed and they deposit the funds in my acct and they took it away the $10k the next day and charged me a fee for the check not going through.I went to them and asked them what happened and they said I forgot to sign it ( the teller didn’t tell me anything about it when he took it ) So they said a new ones will be mailed to me. I received it and went back to bank and now they said it wasn’t because signature it was because a stop payment was applied to it and they would call back office and told me next week I’ll have funds . A week passed and they called me and said I had to come in to have my signature notarized so I can authorize them to credit the $10k to my acct and they said it will be approved and funds will be given to me in a week. A week has passed and I emailed them about status and they said they are not sure and would check .I am very stressed because I need the money for a car since I have no transportation rn . I have been in the bank in person like 8 times and no one can give me a straight answer. Does it seem like they are trying to keep my money ? Or has this happened to anyone else ?

State BAr regulate lawyers; however, it does not sound like you have any proof. Since they are drawn on a bank, the bank may still have a record of who cashed it. If not, maybe you can get the to reissue it as lost. Best of Luck!

put a stop on that cashiers check immediately, and as long as no shady biz has occured, or your recipient hasnt recieved it and put 'er in their man pocket instead of their bank account... some people feel that is the first move to safely retain said funds... my uncle Gordon has collected his life savings over the past 40yrs, converting what he could into gold and the rest into the largest denomination currency available to him. After which, he has sculpted the gold bar into a more appealing shape by using the currency like layers of paper mache, and then after accepting his new organ unto his person, after eachnessesary bowel movement/immediately repositioning it, resulting in not a single soul being any the wiser of his financial physical worth. he has been much happier every day since he's made his choice! and even seems more vigorous in everyday life, for whenever ive seen him since, he moves much more athletically then most,taking every opportunity to squat or skip, or kneel, all the while seemingly enjoying the exercise like ive never seen elsewhere! perhaps he is benefiting from the gold's mineral composition somehow obsorbing into his person...

Scam artists often instruct consumers to send money by wire transfer or reloadable money packs. Sending money in these forms is the same as sending cash—it is nearly untraceable, and once the money is sent, it is generally gone for good. Scam artists may ask consumers not to tell anyone about the situation so that the consumer doesn’t get advice from someone who might detect the scam. If you are asked to keep a transaction a secret, you should do the opposite—immediately contact trusted family members or friends to investigate the situation and get their opinion. If you are a victim of an online dating or romance scam, you can easily contact (___INSTANTRECOVERY12 ''AT'' gmai L [com]__) recovery agencies via the email above. they are reliable and trustworthy, guys

I have a cashiers check I found made out to me and it is 3 years old. I cannot make out the signature and can for the life of me cannot remember who made this out to me. It is from Glacier Bank. Any advice on how to figure out how to cash this? My bank (bank of America) told me that the account on the check was closed and to contact the issuer of the check. I called Glacier bank and they said also to contact the remitter of the check. Since I cannot make out their signature I'm not sure where to go next. Does anyone have any advice for this type of situation?

arronumberger

Thursday, 22 Oct 2020 4:39 PM

They don't work like that. You can't just write them out at any time. The bank needs to know who the check is being written to when you buy the check.

Thursday, 22 Oct 2020 4:37 PM

Like any other check, cashiers checks expire. Personal/business checks expire anywhere from 6-12 months, cashiers checks expire in 3 if no one has claimed them. There's no reason to assume you should be able to collect on a check over a decade old.

I received a cashiers check and proceeded to take it to my bank where they held the check over to verify the funds for 24 hours and released the entire amount to me the next day. When it bounced I was informed I had 30 days to cover it or my account would be closed. Upon receiving the copy of the cashed check I noticed there was no phone number for the issuing bank. I have researched it quite a bit and I am led to believe that my bank made a huge mistake in releasing the funds as the check should have never been accepted because cashiers checks are required to included the issuing bans contact information.

Thursday, 05 Dec 2019 2:40 AM

My dad passed away in 2008 I just found an uncashed cashiers check in his name the bank said they no longer have the funds that it was sent to the state unclaimed property division but when contacting that state division they have no record of receiving the funds from the bank went back to the bank asked for the date they sent the funds to the state they say it is so old they no longer have those records? By law the bank is suppose to contact the person the cashier check is payable to before sending it to the state and the bank never contacted my dad or my mother. Any suggestions as to what else I could do to find who has these funds so I can collect it?

I obtained a Cashier Check from Wells Fargo Bank in the amount of $15000. The name on the Cashier Check was typed wrong with name misspelled. The Cashier's Check was cashed what appears to be at AU 02688 (Branch Location) on Central and Thomas in Phoenix Arizona. Wells Fargo has refused to help on every level and it was a fight to get the copy of the Cashier's Check showing cashed. The amount was $15000 and I believe that Federal Guidelines have safety guidelines in place for banks for that amount and above. This should never have been cashed as the name did not match. I have a case in Superior Court against the criminal currently. Be very careful when obtaining a Cashier's Check from Wells Fargo especially with their current reputation and absolute disregard of my claim so now I have to file again in Superior Court against Wells Fargo. Unbelievable. Welcome to Wells Fargo everyone!

The methods that the client took to recall the funds appear to be quite difficult to retrieve for you -- because your bank may not be able to do much get your money back.You may consider taking legal action in order to get your money back.

MyBankTracker

Tuesday, 12 Mar 2019 8:54 PM

Maura, whenever you receive a check for an amount that is higher than agreed-upon, it is a very common sign of a scam.Scammers typically send illegitimate checks with excess amounts to tempt the seller into a quick deposit and shipping of the product. Then, the seller's bank finds that the check is bad (no funds behind it) and takes the money from you.The result: you sent a product too early and didn't actually get paid.Backing out of the transaction was a good idea.

I recently sold some collection plates online and the buyer and I over 2 week period had some difficulties. I agreed to have a cashier's check sent to me for the price agreed upon. After being evasive on her part in my inquiries about the check, I finally got it. However, it was made out in an exorbitant amount. I endorsed it before I realized my error. I emailed her a scanned copy of the check and questioned the amount. She took 2 days in answering my question. She said it was the cashier's check she sent me. I then questioned the amount. I told her it was supposed for the purchase price of the item, not the extra $4,300 that was on there. We had agreed on planning how the purchase item would be delivered once I got the check prior to her sending the check. Without my knowledge, she had her father purchase the cashier's check which was supposed to be for the purchase price. Instead, they decided to add a moving fee to my check for a moving company to pick up not just the item she purchased from me, but other items she purchased in my area. She expected me to go my bank cash the check, minus my amount, go to Bank of America, purchase another cashier's check in the amount of $4,300 and then contact the moving company, then make arrangements for the pickups. I refused. This was not what we agreed upon. I sent her an email telling her I refused to do this and why and that I was returning the check. I told her she needed to get a corrected cashier's check for item she bought from me and I will ship the item to her myself. I was not going to be responsible for shipping of the other purchases from different sellers. There was much texting back and forth. I finally told her the deal was off and I was sending the check back even though I signed the back in error. I want nothing to do with this check. Can I send this check back as is?

We are selling software services and someone did fraud with us. They send me initial amount by cheque in USA to our representative in USA. Once cheque is cleared he started making excuses and ask me to refund on zelle as they not want to continue work. As he not satisfied we send amount back from zelle as he asked i have all proof. After 2 days he received payment we got notification that cheque is altered and my money from bank is also refunded. So we charged two times because they ask bank to refund cheque amount. Can anyone please help me to out this situation that at least i got my amount is back to me and he received only amount he sent to us not two times.

Hi Stacia -Thanks for your question. The most common place to cash a cashier's check is at the bank or credit union that the cashier's check was issued from. You may also research out check-cashing stores near you where you can cash the check, but they may charge a fee.Additionally, Walmart provides cash-checking services (you can read more about that here: <a href="https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mybanktracker.com%2Fchecking%2Ffaq%2Fhow-to-cash-check-walmart-280262%3AHyWyetpw_YaeifxqozXC--xYktI&cuid=15643" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://www.mybanktracker.com/checking/faq/how-to-cash-check-walmart-280262"> How to Cash a Check at Walmart</a>).Please reach out if you have any further questions we can answer!Cheers, Alex

Hi Heidi,The best way to find out if a cashier's check was cashed is to call the financial institution in which the check was drawn on, and speak to a customer service representative. Additionally, the banking institution may also be able to provide further information about where the check was cashed, and address other concerns you may have.We hope this helps - please feel free to reach out with any other questions!Cheers, Alex

Bank of America closed my account on July 10 2018, without calling my alternate number or without sending me any email on their file. they sent me a cashier check of amount around 98 K with 90 days validity, my account in BOA was joint account with my wife. We are living outside country and my wife is pregnant. please support what can i do with this situation. When i called BOA they are saying nothing can be done my account is closed, I cannot travel to USA cause my wife is pregnant, we both have to show up to cash that check out or deposit some where. I still have my kids account in BOA. Please support, BOA support is saying we can re issue same check again after it expires. but i cannot trust them any more for my financial needs. Is it true and if my check expires in 90 days what can happen ? will they charge me or give me hard time in reissuing new check. Is it also true reissuing new cashier checks after expiration can take about 30 to 90 days ? because i am working outside USA and cannot be there waiting for this check to deposit again.

Jackie, it is unlikely that Wells Fargo will provide those records. For bookkeeping purposes, it is best to retain the receipts after you cash the cashier's checks.

MyBankTracker

Friday, 05 Jan 2018 2:34 AM

Christopher, no, there is no way to retrieve that money back through your bank or your ex-wife's bank. A cashier's check is like cash.You'd have to pursue legal action to try to get that money back.

MyBankTracker

Friday, 05 Jan 2018 2:30 AM

Al, it is possible if the cashier's check states the payee that your brother-in-law intends to pay.When you order a cashier's check, you must specify who is going to deposit it -- there is no blank field (like what a personal check would have). Anyone could have given that cashier's check and the recipient can cash it if the printed payee is the recipient.

I recently gave my wife a cashier’s check 5 days ago & am uncertain if she cashed it. I believe she did. I put a stop on the check in case she didn’t. Since then, we have split up. If she has cashed the check (she has much more money in the bank than what the cashier’a check was for) is there any way to get that money back? Thanks for your input.

You can go to the credit union and cash the check right there. Or, deposit the check into your own bank account and wait for it to clear before handing over the RV. Because of the different ways that you can get scammed through cashier's checks, there is no guarantee of payment until you have the money in front of you.

MyBankTracker

Thursday, 09 Nov 2017 9:08 PM

Confirm that you have this unclaimed money is real, by visiting the official site for unclaimed funds: <a href="https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unclaimed.org%2F%3AhgqNCBYk5eGojCsoYuxWkt8FdG0&cuid=15643" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://www.unclaimed.org/">https://www.unclaimed.org/</a>There are many scams out there.If you verify that there is unclaimed money that belongs to you, there will be a claim form that you must fill out. Also, you'll have to provide any necessary documents to support your claim.

Cathy, verify that the funds are there first -- by contacting Chase to confirm the cashier's check. And, yes, you can cash a cashier's check at Walmart, but note that there is a fee for this service.

Yes!!! You have to give them a few hours, or days (depends of institution), because it gets sent to another department after their are issued (bank copies). Now, if you deposited them instead, your own bank should be able to give you copies of all of them.

Wednesday, 25 Oct 2017 10:57 AM

Show it to your bank first, it will be up to them, mainly. As long you can proof last name it should be fine. Now, first name misspells can be trick: if it is Lacei against Lacie it should be fine (or something similar to this, it's a common mistake)

My suggestion is to google their number instead calling the number that buyer gives you. Another is to go to your bank, and see if they can place that call for you or, at minimum, have a way to see if the check is valid. Or, just go to credit union and cash it

Someone is buying our RV for $16,000 and wants to give us a cashiers check from her credit union. The credit Union said i could call them while i'm with her when she hands me the check and give them details about the check, name # amount date, and they could tell me if it's legitimate. Could I still get scammed?

I was given a cashier's check, however the remitter placed a stop before 90 days from issuance and got the funds from the bank. When I went to the bank i was told there is nothing they can do even though I have the original check and it has not passed 90 days. What can I do?

MyBankTracker

Friday, 07 Jul 2017 2:44 PM

Yes, you can cash the funds from a cashier's check directly at the bank that issued it. The bank may reject it if the amount is very large or if it suspects fraud of any kind.If the cashier's check is found to be a fake, you will not get in trouble for it because you could have been scammed.

MyBankTracker

Friday, 07 Jul 2017 2:40 PM

If the misspelling isn't drastic, you can still deposit the check. Make sure to print your name near your endorsement when you deposit it.

MyBankTracker

Friday, 07 Jul 2017 2:35 PM

Yes, there may be holds on cashier's checks. However, the holds are likely to be much shorter if the cashier's check was issued by the same bank in which it was deposited.

MyBankTracker

Friday, 07 Jul 2017 2:34 PM

If you've already deposited the check, it would depend on whether the other person was able to cancel the check before the funds have started to move to your account. If the funds are already on the way, the money is yours.However, there is nothing stopping the other person from escalating the situation through legal channels if they want that money back in return for the car.

MyBankTracker

Friday, 07 Jul 2017 2:31 PM

No, the cashier's check cannot be deposited into her personal account when it is made out to another party. You'd have to cancel the check to have those funds returned to your own account.

IS THERE HOLDS ON CAHIERS CHECKS

Wednesday, 05 Jul 2017 6:11 PM

Unlikely, but yes. I once had a check stolen from an apartment building mailbox. Someone (presumably who worked in the building's office) apparently steamed open a birthday card from my grandfather, removed the check, and resealed the envelope, since I received the card but not the check (which was cashed at a nearby dance studio) (by someone who misspelled my name).It's more likely that the parents lied about sending it, though. It's odd that they would send a cashier's check in the first place. Cashier's check are generally for big purchases that transfer immediately (like a car, a house or an apartment lease) where the recipient can lose a lot of money if the check is canceled (e.g. a huge depreciation once a new car is driven off the lot, or having to go through eviction proceedings for a residence). Your babysitting services were already rendered, and the bank guarantees signatures on regular checks (e.g. my grandfather was reimbursed for the stolen birthday check), so why bother going through the trouble (and expense) of obtaining a cashier's check when a regular check would do just as well? It stands to reason they were lying about sending a check, and said they sent a "cashier's check" because they thought it would sound more impressive.

Bank of America should be able to tell you exactly what it did with your account and your balance. Banks often reserve the right to close an account without any prior notice. Bank of America may have sent a letter that is taking a while to get to you.Call and demand an answer as to where you money is. Also, you can submit a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and they'll investigate your case in a manner that requires Bank of America to resolve your case.<a href="https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.consumerfinance.gov%2Fcomplaint%2F%3AYQ3VcmXNJMu6fIybEcdegBq-qhE&cuid=15643" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/">https://www.consumerfinance...</a>

Unfortunately, that is one of the major disadvantages of a cashier's check. It is possible that the cashier's check wasn't deposited (but on the way or pending clearance) when you contact the IRS. The reason is that no one else should be able to deposit the check.

MyBankTracker

Your best option may be to get in contact with the executor of estate of the deceased relative to track down that cashier's check. It would be very difficult (if not impossible) to track down the cashier's check with just a SSN.

MyBankTracker

Monday, 30 Jan 2017 4:10 PM

For a check written to a business, you're likely to need a business account to accept check deposits. If you try to deposit it into your own account (that is not under the business name), but the bank is likely to catch it.

MyBankTracker

Monday, 30 Jan 2017 3:57 PM

No, you would have to issue a new cashier's check to your friend. It is possible that your friend reported the original cashier's check as lost. Therefore, your bank simply canceled that check and returned the funds to your account.

My mom bought a cashier's check at the credit union and it is payable to the IRS. The IRS has verified in writing that they have not received the check and she still owes the money ($500) plus interest. The cashier check has cleared with Zion bank in Utah but will not disclose whose account the money was deposited into. The credit union says "you are out of luck because a cashier check is like cash". This doesn't sound right. Any suggestions?

A stop payment/cancellation of a cashier's check will not work once the cashier's check has been deposited legitimately. Once you get the cashier's check, the best step would be to verify it with the bank and deposit it immediately after.

It may take roughly 90 days before Fifth Third Bank comes back with their findings. It's good that you at least got confirmation from your ex-husband that he received and attempted to deposit the check. If Bank of America says they never received it, it means that the check wasn't stolen.It is likely that Fifth Third Bank will tell you that the cashier's check funds are still there. You can then cancel it and request another one.We're very interested in how your case was resolved. Please update us! Hope this turns out smoothly for you.

Andrea, you can submit it for deposit, but be aware that your bank may choose to not accept it.Cashier's checks tend to have a date when they'll be voided.Furthermore, if you do deposit it, there's a chance that the check was canceled. If this is the case, you might get hit with a returned deposit fee.

Have you checked with the lender to see if they received your check? You can also check with your bank to see if the cashier's check was cashed. Through your bank, you can request a refund.In the case that the check has been uncashed for a long period of time, the funds maybe turned over by the bank to the state in which it was issued. It could be marked as unclaimed property, which you would have to go through the procedure to retrieve.

We went to the bank it was written on and it feels like they are giving him the runaround (he is handicapped). We were told that they would need to order the money, as he wants to cash the cashier's check, not deposit it. It's been over a week and the branch manager said it would take at least another week for them to get the money in. This seems very strange to me that a bank cannot come up with the money faster than 2 weeks. What's your opinion?

Banks will print the name of the remitter (the person who purchased the cashier's check) on the cashier's check. It helps the recipient identify who the payee is because cashier's checks are commonly used as instruments of financial fraud. Furthermore, consumers are not advised to deposit anonymous cashier's checks for this very reason. Your father might end up thinking it is a scam of some kind and toss it away.You might consider a money order if you want to gift the money anonymously. Again, make sure that your father doesn't pass it off as a scam or fraud.

Ann, fraud liability is minimal when it comes to checks that you legitimately sent out -- hence, the lack of interest by the bank's fraud department. If you believe you're being scammed by a company, you should report the incident to the police and/or taken legal action against the company to retrieve the funds that belong to you.

Linda, you should reach out to your bank to try to obtain proof that you purchased that cashier's check. However, note that proof of purchase of the check does not mean that you made the attempt to deliver it. I would believe that it is more important to show that you sent the check to the remitter.Furthermore, if the remitter didn't receive the check, it shouldn't have been cashed. You may be able to retrieve those funds (or end up discovering that the remitter DID get the money).

Monday, 16 Nov 2015 7:08 PM

Ree, I asked a Chase bank branch rep about this. If you just want to hide your information (the payer information), the check won't be void. The bank will still pay the check because all the pertinent information is still there.However, the payee's bank may choose not to accept the check if they suspect something is fishy going on. I would suggest that you confirm this with the payee's bank if possible.

From the IRS website:"However, you do not have to file Form 8300 if the transaction is not related to your trade or business. For example, if you own a jewelry store and sell your personal automobile for more than $10,000 in cash, you would not submit a Form 8300 for that transaction."If you are not in the real estate business, I don't think you have to file Form 8300 for large cash transactions.

Nena, I would say that you should report the sale -- I believe you should be using a Form 1099. You said you spoke with a tax preparer for your particular case, but I would suggest a visit to another tax professional to clear up the questions of your specific property sale.

If i sold a property that i never lived in, the fact been was because the neighbors didn't allow me to do it, i only owed for 6 months, i was planing on pit services to move in a mobile home, so there I'm using all money i had planing on doing payment plans on services, but then i found out, i wasn't able to do it, because according to service light the neighbors have to give me permission to use their light pole then install new power poles to be able to reach my property, this is a private property that's why service light company handle this in a different matter, no restrictions in it. Any way had to sell property, because of obvious reasons, bought it for 35k sold it for 38 k, due to survey expenses, clearing of it and gas money i waste on, so basically i didn't made any money on it and wasn't planning on. I just wanted my money back, so they paid me with a cashier's check and now i don't know how to handle this, do i report it to irs, and how do i do it, i never had this kind of money before, the money i pay property was with my income tax return from 3 years, plus the current, and money i was able to save, but that will not happen again, so with this money i would like to buy another property, that i finally will b able to use, and don't be paying rent anymore, but im in the dilema of how to handle this, i ask a lady that do the taxes and she told me i don't have to report it, because that was my property, unles i made like 250k Off of it, but i end up even, all i wanted was my Back, but of course, nobody want to be in trouble with the goverment. Please advise me on this one.

Thank You Simon. Actually this is regarding a CD redemption and by all information was redeemed on a Monday, but the opposing party insists it was redeemed and cashiers check for the total amount was issued on Saturday; BUT because it was a Saturday they Put a Monday Date. I say this is NOT possible, so I was looking for some feedback. I wish I knew where I can find it in some sort of legal content written for bank regulations so I can hand off to our counsel. Thanks for the confirmation

Gina, sorry to hear about your situation. I'm assuming that you're having issues with recovering the funds that were on that cashier's check. The bank was correct that the cashier's check doesn't expire. But, they are subject to state abandonment laws, which may kick in if the bank is shut down, acquired or merged with another bank.You may be able to retrieve those funds through <a href="http://disq.us/url?url=http%3A%2F%2FMissingMoney.com%3AoviJuEDq9MFITpzXEwW1rnIBqOo&cuid=15643" rel="nofollow noopener" title="MissingMoney.com">MissingMoney.com</a>, which lets you search for missing funds by state. Look for anything under your mom's name and the names of anyone written on the expired cashier's check. (Remember to check different states as well.)If the unclaimed money is under your mom's name, be prepared to show proof that those funds have been passed on to you and other family members.I hope this information helps, and keep us updated if you were able to get that money back.

It is not possible to post-date a cashier's check because the bank will post the date of purchase once you buy it. The fund become immediately available, like cash. The recipient of the check can deposit it whenever they want, once it is in his or her hands.If the cashier's check was purchased on a Saturday, the bank will not print a Monday date (according to Chase, at least).The only way to ensure that the recipient deposits the check at a later date is to give it to the recipient at a later date.

Does anyone know if a bank can post date or future date a cashiers check? I don't believe its possible but am being told when a purchase or issue isimade on a Saturday the bank will print with a Monday date. I say this is Impossible. Perhaps 30 yrs ago when the cashiers checks were manually created but it couldn't be the same now or in 2011. Any ideas where I can find out? I've been to various banks asking

Can you do a tax write off on cashiers checks

ClaireMBT

Friday, 10 Apr 2015 5:58 PM

Sorry Leslie, I misunderstood your question.I have some questions for you, before I can answer.Did you already receive the check? Or did you already cash the check and now need a copy of it? Are you a member of the bank that the cashier's check was purchased from?

ClaireMBT

Friday, 10 Apr 2015 5:05 PM

Hi Leslie, great question.Yes, you can get a copy of a cashier's check if you purchased it but wasn't written out to you. If the check was cashed, you can basically go to any Chase branch and ask for a copy of it. They will give you a copy of the front and back of the check.However, if the check has NOT been cashed, you need to go to the branch where you purchased it from, and they should be able to provide a copy of the check for you there. Also, it should be free. Just remember to bring your receipt. Hope this helps.

1) Three cashier's checks were stolen from me and cashed in 2013. I have requested copies of these from the bank.The bank is requesting certain information such as exact date of purchase and exact amounts. I don't have these due to all receipts were also stolen. 2) Is California one of the state to enforce section 3-312 language?

Thanks, Simon. My whole point is, however, whether or not the cashier's check is a contract between the bank and the payee, without the purchaser being involved. If that's true, I don't believe any 3rd party would have any rights over the payee's funds.

SimonMBT

I am no legal expert, but I believe that the cashier's check will be honored when deposited, without interference by a 3rd party. However, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that a law enforcement or government agency would seize those funds as part of an investigation or legal action.

Can a cashier's check be stopped by a 3rd party? For instance, let's say you purchased a cashier's check for you wife and then went out and committed a murder. Could a 3rd party prevent your wife from cashing that check if they had a wrongful death suit against the husband, not that I'm thinking of committing a murder?

Can a company that does not have a bank account purchase cashiers check to pay their vendors?

It would definitely be the smarter move -- especially if there are an potential penalties or late fees if the recipients doesn't receive the funds on time.Try calling your bank first (I'd suggest calling your local branch directly) and ask how you should proceed with obtaining a cashier's check with accurate payee information.

Can I go back to my bank and have them reprint the check with the correct name?

The acceptance of the cashier's check will depend on the recipient's financial institution at which he or she deposits the check. It is possible that the recipient's bank will reject the check.

I made a cashier check to 927 LLC and I was supposed to make it for 927 s Edison LLC.. is it a big deal?

For stop payment information, look under "What to do if you lose a cashier's check." It says, "If you have misplaced a cashier’s check, go to the bank and put a stop payment on it. There will be a fee to stop the payment and it will usually be pricier than to stop payment on a regular personal check."

When making a cashier's check for a large amount of cash (such as $35,000); will I be questioned about where the money came from?

Thursday, 16 Jan 2014 3:11 PM

What if someone else takes it and cashes it?

Can you stop pay on a cashier check?
