Pay to the order of ...". That would meet the possible requirement of having the MCR codes on it. I am going to try to pay my VISA bill to B of A with a deposit slip from my Crocker account, and see what happens. I have also gotten back checks that had an additional piece of paper attached to it with MCR codes on it, which she, who worked in a bank before she discovered VAXen, says is attached by the Federal Reserve System if their equipment cannot read the imprinting on the check.
