I received a check for babysitting that was made out for two different amounts. The difference is $40. Will my bank let me deposit it even with this discrepancy?
The bank can legally accept the check for deposit for the amount in words. On the other hand, if the amount in numerals is lower, your bank might take a cautious approach and refuse the check altogether, suggesting you get a replacement made out correctly.
That's what the bank can do. To find out what the bank is likely to do, you'll have to contact them.
