checkbooks

Bank draft pads

Checkbooks are small booklets containing blank checks, used to make payments from a bank account.

Each check can be filled out with an amount and payee, then signed and given as payment.

Though increasingly rare in the age of electronic payments, checkbooks remain in use for rent, bills, and formal transactions.
