canceled check
Payment proof document
A canceled check is a check that has been paid by the bank and marked to prevent reuse.
The cancellation—historically a stamp, perforation, or physical mark—indicates the transaction is complete.
Banks once returned canceled checks to account holders as proof of payment: Keep your canceled checks for tax records.
Most checking is now electronic, making physical canceled checks increasingly rare.
