Cheques

Who pays for cheque fraud losses — retailers, banks or customers?

This depends very much on the facts of each case. If you accept a cheque that subsequently turns out to be fraudulent you should be aware that you may be required to return the funds.

Retailers should ensure they comply with the Conditions of Use of the UK Domestic Cheque Guarantee Card Scheme in order to benefit from the protection that it offers.
