(In some contexts, 'cheque' specifically refers to a financial instrument that may not be fully captured by a single English term.)
A written order instructing a bank to pay a specified sum of money from the drawer's account to the person whose name is written on the document. This is primarily translated as 'check' (US English) or 'cheque' (UK English). In more formal or specific financial contexts, particularly in Latin America, 'cheque' can also refer to a 'voucher' (a document entitling the holder to goods, services, or money) or a 'bill of exchange' (a written order from one party to another to pay a specified sum of money to a third party).
