memo line
Payment purpose field
The memo line is the space on a check where the writer can note the payment's purpose: She wrote "June rent" on the memo line.
It serves as a reminder for the payer and a reference for the recipient, though it has no legal effect on the transaction.
Sometimes called the "for" line.
