Cheques
Are bankers' drafts/building society cheques as good as cash? How do they work?
Bankers' drafts and building society cheques are treated the same as ordinary cheques and have to go through the clearing system. The comfort they provide is that it is highly unlikely they would be returned unpaid due to lack of funds. However it is important to note that there is no guarantee against fraudulent use — for example, they may be lost or stolen and then used fraudulently.
