How to collect a nominative check

Among the variety of checks that exist, we find among them the nominative check, one of the most commonly used checks . It is so named because the check itself includes the name of the person or entity that can collect the check, and most cases can not be endorsed to another person. Then, in .com, we explain how to collect a nominative check, both for the person in whose name you are willing and for another person.

When can I cash a nominative check?

The first thing you have to take into account is the deadline to collect a nominative check established by the Exchange and Check Law ( 15 days from its date of issue for those issued or payable in Spain).

In a nominative check the expressions of the type "bearer" have disappeared, since it does not possess who carries it, but who says in the check that it must be its possessor, including his name and surname. These checks, as available, may or may not be endorsed to another person, but that does not mean that the other person can cash it.
