subject: How to Cash a Check [print this page] How exciting, you just ended your first week at a new job and it's finally pay day! It's your first job and they just handed you a check with the amount you earned for the past past week. You haven't got a clue how to get your money and you need cash now.
This is the scenerio a lot of teenagers might have during their first job. However, cashing your first check shouldn't be scary or a problem at all. It's actually quite easy. Here's how to cash a check.
It's pretty easy to cash a check. You can do it in two ways: take it to the bank that issued the check, or take it to your bank.
If you have a bank account, take it to your bank. Sign or endorse the check, and present it to the bank teller. Also present a valid picture ID with your signature. Usually the process is fast, so you don't have to wait long. You'll have your money in no time.
If you don't have a bank account, take it to the bank that issued the check. You can see the name of the bank in the check. You will need to present a valid picture ID as well after you endorse the check. The process is the same; you don't need to wait very long for the teller to give you your money.
Sometimes banks refuse to cash checks for people who do not have accounts with them. If for some reason you cannot cash your check in a bank, you can go to Wal-Mart or any grocery store. Some grocery stores cash checks, but you will have to spend a percentage of the amount first.
