When you complete your check for any purpose i.e withdraw, to give loans etc then, write:

- The amount in numbers with a comma and cents, even if it is a round number (example: $123.45 or $100.00) and start writing from the left edge

- The amount in words, starting left of the first line reserved for this purpose. Enter the number of dollars and cents (you can write cents) (Example: One hundred twenty-three dollars and forty cents or five hundred dollars and no cents). If the written text does not go to the end of the line, fill it with a horizontal line.

- Place and date of issue: these entries are mandatory. It is forbidden by law to backdate or postdate a check, that is to say the date for another day.

- The signature: it should match the one you made when opening the account.

Remember, after you have completed your check, complete the check register to keep track of payments you just made. This will allow you to monitor your accounts and spending.

I do like the new format for beehive! Great job!!

I really liked it when the students could click around on the check to see what all the parts of the check were. Examples: The check number, the routing number, the account number, the account holder, the bank name, etc.

Could this be added back?
