About This Template
A cashier's check is a payment instrument issued and guaranteed by a bank — unlike a personal check, the funds are drawn directly from the bank's own account, making it as secure as cash. Use this free template to see exactly what a cashier's check looks like, understand its layout, or create a reference format. Note: real cashier's checks must be issued by a bank — this template is for educational and formatting purposes. Visit your bank branch or request one online through your bank's website.
When to Use This Template
Cashier's checks are used for large purchases like vehicles, real estate down payments, or any transaction where the recipient requires guaranteed funds. They're also commonly required for security deposits on apartments and large business transactions. The recipient can deposit them immediately with confidence the funds won't bounce.
Who This Template Is For

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a cashier's check look like?
A cashier's check looks similar to a personal check but is printed on bank letterhead and lists the bank as the drawer. It includes the bank's name and address, a "Pay to the order of" line, the amount in numbers and words, the bank's authorized signature, and a MICR line at the bottom. Many include additional security features like watermarks.
Can I create a cashier's check at home?
No, cashier's checks must be issued by a bank. This template is for reference only. To get a real cashier's check, visit your bank branch or request one through your bank's online portal. Most banks charge a small fee ($5–$15).
What's the difference between a cashier's check and a regular check?
A cashier's check is guaranteed by the bank and drawn from bank funds, while a regular check is drawn from your personal or business account. Cashier's checks are more secure for large transactions because they cannot bounce.
Are cashier's checks guaranteed?
Yes, cashier's checks are guaranteed by the issuing bank. The bank verifies and sets aside the funds when the check is issued, so the recipient is assured the check will clear. This is why they're preferred for large transactions.
