Backed by Guaranteed Funds

Unlike a regular check, a cashier’s check is issued and guaranteed by the financial institution. Instead of relying on the payer’s account at the time the check is deposited, the funds are backed by the issuing institution, which can provide added assurance for large purchases and payments.

How to Order a Cashier’s Check

 It’s easy and convenient to order a cashier’s check from home. Use digital banking* to place an order and choose to have the check delivered to your home or available for pickup at your local branch.

Pickup

If you choose to pick it up at your local branch, follow the directions for branch pickup. Checks not picked up within 4 calendar days will be canceled and the funds returned to your account.
