Banking

Hi all, I am a new member. We purchased a house in Castlevecchio Subequo 4 years ago and just found this forum! I have a question that I hope someone can answer. We are at our home in New Zealand and need to write out a cheque from our Italian bank  (Carispaq) which we will post to a friend in Italy to put into their Italian bank account. The top line of the cheque has 'li'  in the center of the page then a space for the euro amount on the right. I think we put the place where the cheque was written after li. Is that correct ? As we are in New Zealand should we put christchurch NZ there? Or will the cheque not be accepted if not written in Italy? What goes before li on the top line ? Our name? The bottom line has the letter a at the left. Do we just  sign there or do we print our name and sign? Our name is not printed on the cheques.  Hope someone can help, David

Cheques often go 'missing' in the post can you not do an electronic transfer?

Why not use your internet banking using their SWIFT and IBAN numbers and tranfer it that way easy peasy. You can use any internet bank to do this.

Scan a blank cheque - black out the account number, signature area etc [in case it goes astray] - email/fax it to your friend - ask him to fill it in properly [I assume he'll know what is required]  and resend it back to you.  Then you can copy the details onto a cheque, sign it  and post it to him
