Parkway Bank and Trust Company, Harwood Heights, Illinois, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit cashier's checks bearing the institution's name are in circulation.

The counterfeit items display the proper routing number of 071908160 for Parkway Bank and Trust Company. The counterfeit items and the authentic checks are similar. However, authentic cashier's checks are printed on gray paper with a scroll border and a silver seal reading "ORIGINAL FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT" at the top in the center of the check. The counterfeit items are printed on either white or light blue paper and have no scroll border. The counterfeit items do not include the Parkway Bank "P" logo to the immediate left of the bank name. A copy of a counterfeit item and an authentic cashier's check (VOID) are attached for your review.
