cheque
Written payment order
A cheque is the British spelling of check—a written order directing a bank to pay money from one's account.
You write a cheque to pay rent, settle a debt, or transfer funds: The solicitor posted the cheque this morning.
Though electronic payments have largely replaced paper cheques, they remain common in formal transactions.
