How About a Temporary Personal Check?

I ran out of personal checks. I have re-ordered them, but can the bank issue temporary checks with my name on them?


Temporary checks traditionally do not have your name or address on them. They are blank checks that are encoded with your account number for processing. With today's technology it is possible that the bank could add your name, address, telephone number, etc., as you desire. Depending on how you'll use these checks, you may find that an ATM or debit card will work better for you.
