Which of the following is a valid signer for cashier's checks?

• A. The Teller
• B. The Customer
• C. Branch Manager or BSM
• D. Notary Public

Answer: (C)

Cashier's checks are drawn on the bank's own funds and must be signed by someone in the bank who has signing authority. In practice, that authority is held by a bank officer at the branch, such as the branch manager or a designated signing official (often called a Branch Service Manager). The purchaser (the customer) does not sign the cashier's check, since the bank is funding and issuing it. Notary Publics witness signatures but do not have authority to issue cashier's checks. Therefore, the valid signer is the branch manager or BSM.
