yes you can take it to the bank...even if you dont have an account there. Your employer does.....so the check funds can instantly be verified and your money is YOURS...lol well as long as ya got your drivers liscense or state ID with you.....call in the morning and they will tell you the same thing. Uhhh lets see...up here CITIZENS BANK is a large bank....If you had a check that was from your employer and it was a CITIZENS BANK check....walk in and cash that bad boy. Just make sure you take it to the right bank. lol
