Pareho lang ba ang cashier’s check at manager’s check?

ni Atty. Persida Rueda-Acosta @Magtanong Kay Attorney | December 4, 2023


Dear Chief Acosta,


Bumibili ako ng cashier’s check sa bangko sapagkat may kailangan akong bayaran, ngunit ang ibinigay nila sa akin ay isang manager’s check. Ayos lang ba ito? - Lalaine


Dear Lalaine,


Para sa inyong kaalaman, ang sagot sa inyong katanungan ay tinalakay ng ating Kagalang-galang na Korte Suprema sa kaso ng Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company v. Chiok, Bank of the Philippine Islands v. Chiok at Global Business Bank, Inc. v. Chiok (G.R. Nos.172652, 175302, at 175394 – November 26, 2014, Ponente: Honorable Associate Justice Teresita J. Leonardo-De Castro), kung saan ipinaliwanag na:


“The legal effects of a manager’s check and a cashier’s check are the same. A manager’s check, like a cashier’s check, is an order of the bank to pay, drawn upon itself, committing in effect its total resources, integrity, and honor behind its issuance. By its peculiar character and general use in commerce, a manager’s check or a cashier’s check is regarded substantially to be as good as the money it represents. Thus, the succeeding discussions and jurisprudence on manager’s checks, unless stated otherwise, are applicable to cashier’s checks, and vice versa.”


Malinaw sa nabanggit na kaso na pareho lamang ang legal na epekto ng manager’s check at cashier’s check. Pareho silang utos ng bangko sa sarili nito na bayaran ang mga tseke sa abot ng kanilang makakaya. Dahil dito, ang manager’s check at cashier’s check ay parehong maaaring ituring na para na ring salapi.


Samakatuwid, ayos lamang na manager’s check ang ibinigay sa inyo ng bangko imbes na cashier’s check na inyong hinihingi sapagkat parehas lamang ang legal na epekto ng dalawang tseke.


Sana ay nabigyan namin ng linaw ang iyong katanungan. Ang payong aming ibinigay ay base lamang sa mga impormasyon na iyong inilahad at maaaring magbago kung mababawasan o madaragdagan ang mga detalye ng iyong salaysay.


Maraming salamat sa iyong patuloy na pagtitiwala.
