Stop cheques

Step 1 - Stop cheques

Welcome to the ‘Stop cheques demo'. Simply read the prompts at the top of each screen, then scroll down and complete the tasks inside the box below.

The ‘Stop cheques' page enables you to stop single, multiple, or a range of cheques e.g. if your cheque book has been stolen, or you wish to stop any cheque you have accidentally issued.

You can also remove the stop you have previously placed on a cheque.

Stop a cheque

A) To stop a single cheque, on the ‘Stop cheques' page under ‘Cheques to be stopped', type the cheque's number in the ‘From cheque number' field. Then, in the ‘To cheque number' field type the cheque number again.

For this demo type the number ‘000023’ in both the 'From cheque number' and ‘To cheque number' fields.

If you wanted to stop a group of cheques with successive numbers, in the ‘From cheque number' field you would type the lowest cheque number of the group, and in the ‘To cheque number' field you would type the highest cheque number in the group.

B) Add today's date as the date of the cheque/s in the ‘Date' field.

We have provided a helpful pop-up calendar to make picking dates easier. You can access it by clicking the calendar icon next to the input fields and the date will automatically update it to the relevant field.

C) Add ‘Rosie's Flowers’ for the name of the payee and an amount of ‘$50.00’.

D) Select ‘Disputed Payment’ as the reason for stopping the cheque, from the drop down list.

E) Click the ‘Stop cheque(s)' button.
