Other than filling in the date,payee,amount payable and signature,you will have to decide to cross the check to make 'account payee only' cheque.Once the cheque is crossed,it has to be banked and cleared by the bank and give the option to stop the cheque transfer if you happen to have second thought to protect your interest..
You can also cross off the word 'or order' after the payee's name to make it non-transferable to another account.
