Definition

An Account Payee Cheque is a cheque that can only be deposited into the bank account of the person or business written on it.

Features

  • Marked with “A/C Payee” across two lines.
  • Safer than open cheques because only the named person can use it.

Example

If you receive an account payee cheque, you cannot withdraw cash directly; it must be deposited in your bank account.
