- skissane 10y agoYes, although they usually demand a bank cheque (which I think is what is called a "cashier's check" in the US), not a personal cheque. You go to the bank teller, you pay them the amount plus a fee (usually out of your bank account), and the teller issues a cheque in the bank's name not yours. I also occasionally get bank cheques in the mail from companies. If you have a utility account, and you close it, and it is in credit, they'll mail you a bank cheque for the credit amount. Actual personal cheques - my grandparents used to give me those for my birthday. That's probably the last time I can ever remember encountering one.
