Writing a check can seem old-fashioned but it's still useful! First, write the date in the top right corner. Then, add the payee's name on the "Pay to the Order of" line. In the box next to it, write the amount in numbers. Below, write the amount in words on the line. Don't forget to sign the bottom right corner and add a memo if needed! Have you written many checks before, or is this your first time?
