lost cashiers check

hi..

Do you have the receipt? If you bought it at the post office, they can track it there.

Or, if you have your copy and bought it at a bank, take your copy to the bank and after 7-10 days they can tell if it's been cashed. If not, they can put a stop payment on it and then reissue you another one.

Most banks require a bond to do a stop payment on a cashier's check because they want someone to accept liability if they put a stop payment on it and it gets cashed in that 7 - 10 day period.

I was referring to after the 7-10 day period. At least this is the way my bank does it.

I think the 7-10 day period is pretty standard. What surprised me was that they wanted me to take out a bond and/or accept liability in case the check was cashed in the 7-10 day period. No way!

Most banks (non-credit unions) will require you to provide an indemnity bond of either even value with or twice the amount of the check. In our accounting office this happens a few times a year. I recommend suretyone.org. We obtain our bonds from them. They have always been very helpful.
