Document background
An Authorization Letter for Cheque is commonly used when an account holder needs to delegate cheque-handling authority to another person. This document is particularly relevant in situations where the primary account holder is unavailable or requires assistance in managing financial transactions. Under English and Welsh law, the letter must comply with banking regulations and the Bills of Exchange Act 1882, providing clear identification of all parties, specific powers granted, and any limitations. The document serves as legal evidence of the authorization and protects all parties involved in the transaction.
