Unless a customer disputes anendorsement or says their checks were forged no human ever looks at them...you can sign your check Mickey Mouse and it will clear the system no problem  It is up to your bank teller or the cashier in the businesses where you shop to catch these discrepancies. |
That is amazing!! Obviously, if you stop and think about it....there is no way every single check signature could be verified! I guess I was thinking that simply because they have to have that signature card on file....!!
