In the box on the right side of the check, write the dollar amount followed by '.00'. For example, if you're paying exactly $50, write '50.00' in the dollar box.
On the long line below the payee's name, write the dollar amount in words followed by 'and 00/100' or 'and no/100'. For example: 'Fifty and 00/100' or 'Fifty dollars and no/100'.
Fill in the date, payee name, memo line (optional), and sign the check. Double-check all information for accuracy before handing over or mailing the check.
Powerful capabilities at your fingertips
Always write '00/100' or 'no/100' in the written amount section to prevent check alteration and ensure the exact amount is clear to the bank.
Include the decimal point and two zeros (.00) in the numerical amount box to clearly indicate there are no cents being paid.
Ensure both the numerical and written amounts match exactly. Banks will process the written amount if there's a discrepancy.
Writing checks correctly with zero cents looks professional and prevents processing delays or confusion at the bank.
Never leave the cents portion blank or draw lines through it. Always explicitly write '00/100' to maintain check validity.
Record the exact amount in your check register, noting it as a whole dollar amount with .00 to maintain accurate financial records.
