Eurocheque

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eurocheque was a type of cheque used in Europe until the 1990s. Eurocheques had cross-border acceptance and could be written in a variety of currencies. They were particularly popular in Germanic countries, where they were often issued as standard domestic cheques. Like cheques in the United Kingdom, Eurocheques usually had to be accompanied by a cheque guarantee card in order to be accepted in payment at a point of sale.
