If a check made out to {A} is signed & given to {B}, can {B} cash it or deposit it in {B}'s back account?

NO. not really..unless A comes to the bank with you and shows the teller their ID. if they do it without A being there...then they are probably breaking the policys where they work..





its funny to see how many ppl think this is actually ok to do..only time it will work is if A is your minor child or something like that.|||Yes|||Yes.|||a need to put under his or hers signature, pay to the order of b. then b can sign it and put it in his or hers account.|||no %26lt;a%26gt; would need to cash it then go with %26lt;b%26gt; personally to the bank and put it in %26lt;b%26gt;'s bank account.|||Yes, but some places will not accept it. It's called a third party check.





This situation is why you're not supposed to sign a check until you're ready to deposit or cash it. Otherwise, if you lose it anyone could pick it up and cash it. If you do sign a check and leave it in a night deposit box, write your account number and "For Deposit Only" under your signature. That way if it's stolen it will be useless to the criminal and you can get the check replaced.|||"A" will have to uncross the check. This is done by endorsing the check . "A" should write "Pay Bearer" between the parallel sloping lines and sign alongside the endorsement. "B" can then pay the check into is/her account.





"Substituting a named person for "Pay Bearer" might be OK but I have not tried it. it would be better from a security point of view.





Ian M|||yes if a really signed it
