Who Is Payee On Check? (UCC)

Answered by:

Question:

Who is the payee on the check? Hanes Company or Mary Smith? Hanes Company c/o Mary Smith 1234 Abc lane New York, NY

Answer:

"c/o" is simply an abbreviation for "care of," and it indicates that the check is being routed to the payee through the "care of" party. In the example you've offered, Hanes Company is the payee of the check, and the check is being sent to Mary Smith with the expectation that Mary Smith will ensure the check is given to Hanes Company or credited to an account of Hanes Company.
