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

But I too have a baffling Italian chequebook but I made a pencil note in it of what to write where. If you like I can dig it out & let you know what mine requires Here is an old thread http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/cost-living-utility-services/6346-writing-my-first-check-italian.html If you google "come scrivere un assegno" You will find lots of info & images too: https://www.google.com/search?q=come+scrivere+un+assegno&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=qhmnT6vFKMav0QWpwNiJBA&ved=0CIMBELAE&biw=1356&bih=870 In bocco al lupo

Italian cheque

Thanks for all your help, I can't do a transfer on internet banking from New Zealand, I would have to use an international transfer service or do it through my bank which would cost half of the amount of the cheque for their fees! So, I guess if it is a choice of a cheque or cash going missing in the mail, a cheque would be the best bet. Thanks again all, David

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
