Thank you for your banking with us.
At HSBC, we care about the financial security of your relationship with the Bank, and are committed to make banking secure and convenient for you.
Presently, we offer many channels through which you can transact and manage your accounts, but the cheque book remains a primary financial document for most of us. Safeguarding your cheque book is vital to help prevent fraud on your account and your finances.
We share a few pointers to safeguard your cheque book and request you to adhere to them:
Bullet Count the number of cheque leaves in your cheque book when you receive it, to ensure that none of the blank cheques have been removed
Bullet Keep your cheque book in a safe and secure place - do not leave it unattended at any time
Bullet Refrain from signing blank cheques and ensure to sign cheques only where complete details
are mentioned
Bullet Remember to cross cheques as 'Account Payee' if they are not being used as bearer cheques
Bullet Strike off any blank spaces on the cheque before signing it
Bullet Do not leave extra spaces between words or figures, to minimise chances of alteration
Bullet Maintain a record of cheques issued in the journal pages, usually placed in the beginning of your cheque book. This will help you to keep track of the cheque series and spot any missing or unrecorded cheques
Bullet When you need to cancel a cheque ensure that you scribble over the MICR band and
write 'CANCEL' across the face of the cheque. Preferably tear the portion where the cheque
is signed
Bullet Ensure to use (both issue and deposit) CTS - 2010 compliant cheques (Cheque Truncation System) as they are scrutinised and recognised through image-based processing, thereby deterring cheque frauds
