You could always use a personal check for business purposes. You want to hand-write either your business name or your personal name depending on whether the check is for personal or business purposes? I don't see what that gains. In any case, it's not clear what you are trying to accomplish.
At least if they've waited long enough to get the permanent checks in, there's some reason to believe that they plan to stick around. Therefore, I conclude that there must not be any legal requirement for anything to appear there, nor does the bank require it.īusinesses are often reluctant to accept such temporary checks, for the obvious reason that anyone could go to the bank, open an account with $10, write checks for thousands of dollars, and disappear. I've used such checks and the bank has honored them. As you note, when you open a new account, they give you temporary checks that are usually blank in the upper left.
