Checks |
|
Checks are handy because they're a way to pay for things without having to carry lots of cash around. Checks are safe, too, because they are only pieces of paper - not money - until you sign them. When
you write someone a check, you are asking your bank to pay that person
the amount of money written on the check. Your signature at the bottom
of the check means that you promise you have at least that much money
in your checking account.  |
