Incorrect spelling on a cheque

spenderdave

In my experience it will go through. Some years ago when I was treasurer of our church I accidentally paid in the church money with one of my own paying in slips - it all went into my own account even though there were several cheques made out to the church (and I then had to sheepishly move it across to the right place..). So it looks like most of the time the cashiers don't even look at the payee name on the cheque. But I guess there will also be times when they do...
