A cashier's check, unlike a check you might write from your own account, is the equivalent of cash. This is because the bank that prints the check immediately takes payment for it, instead of waiting for it to clear. A cashier's check may be required for certain transactions, such as a home mortgage loan. Cashier's checks are also referred to as bank checks, teller's checks or treasurer's checks.
