Btw, must the amount be in rounded figure or can you cash out even the cents ?
Has anyone done this before ?

huh???you sure need to wait 1 - 2 hari kalau kau x cross ??so long..then why need cash cheque？normal cheque nowadays take 2 days proceed only...

ko beli barang ke apa ni ? kalau ko cash CHEUQUE ..bila orang tu dah dapat CASH ko tak boleh CANCEL apa apa pun tau.

kalau ko x cross atau follow normal prosedur need 1 to 2 days. kalau ada masalah ko boleh call bank to stop cheque.

1. yes, the problem with cash cheques is that you need to cash in person at the branch issuing the cheque.

which is a problem if you get a cash cheque from KL branch while u are in JB...

2. no, no need account no. for receiver.

cash means cash, you bring the cash cheque to the branch counter, straight away you get cash money.

you wanna cheong/buy toto/deposit into another bank using that other bank's cash deposit machine is up to you...

if not crossed at a/c payee, that is not cash cheque already la...

the bank will give the exact amount as stated on the cheque.

no matter if it's to person/company or cash...

Sain kat atas

what do you mean by this?

you want receiver to bring your cheque to the bank and straight away get cash?

then write 'cash' (without the ' '), cross out the a/c payee only and countersign on it

(like what the HSBC cheque showed).

but as mentioned by everyone else, it will mean anyone can get cash money immediately if they cash it, not just your intended receiver.

why you didn't go to counter?

AFAIK cash cheques cnnot be deposited using cheque deposit machine, must go to counter...

ye ke kalau letak nama dan account no. selamat?

if cash cheque mana ada letak nama dah.

account no. pun isi kat belakang, itupun technically anything written at the back is not the official instruction/arahan, just as a guidleine.

of which the processor have no obligation to follow....

i have deposited cheque without putting account no. at the back, still processed and correctly went to my account...

nope, if cash cheque the bank doesn't care if name wrong or not.

because by countersigning the 'a/c payee only' on the top of cheque means you allow the bank to proceed payment regardless of the person cashing in the cheque in the intended person or not...

that is the reason why cash cheques are extremly discouraged...

memang la macam tu, bagus budak counter bank tu.

mana tau kau curik chequebook orang lain pastu memandai buat cash cheque...

this shows that you are not a suitable person to use a chequebook, as you can't even remember or use a single signature...

lantak lah. orang semua pakai online banking. sekarang pakai ATM pun boleh transfer ATM ke ATM.

kalau ko niaga juta juta wajib la cheque

as i said, i didnt check its cash cheque or normal ac payee cheque, i called the bank, they said thats my fault, technically they wont admit its their staff swallowed the money.

may i know which bank???
you should send a compalint e-mail to bank negara.2 day later ,you will receive the bank kl hq call...
i try a lousy bank service on credit card issue,after that the staff become super friendly with me...

maybank, but that case was like 10 years ago, i was still very young, didnt know much about cheque, complains etc, just noob on everything.

i think u r the real cheque master here

personally i use bank transfer only, dunno much and dun bother use cheque book tho

thanks, but i should give credit to lucifah for the 'or bearer/atau pembawa' part.

most ppl won't ever use cheque or cheque books, as it requires a specific type of account (current account) and not simply any savings-type account.

at most, you'd probably use a banker's cheque or bank draft if the payment requires a cheque instead of cash.

every few months or so, there will always be a tered about cheques...

and usually most ppl especially KITT will come and give the wrong info or the unsafe method of using cheques...

(in short, cash cheques are bad)...

the only books i ever finish reading are cheque books

cash cheques are as risky as CASH itself. i only use CASH cheque if i need to withdraw cash MYSELF

if the other party want CASH, he has to withdraw from his own account or i give him CASH on the spot and the rest is his own risk.
