Unless University of Kansas students know a friendly tutter, they will find it difficult to cash third-party checks when they don't have the amount of the check in a Lawrence bank or savings and loan association.
As a general policy, most Lawrence banks and savings and loans associations said they cashed customers' third-party checks—checks written by someone than the account owner—if a customer already paid the amount of the check in a savings or checking account.
at Lawrence Bank and Trust, 647 Massachusetts St., said that the bank often cached checks for more than the amount that the customer had in his account.

Greg Sweneey, teler at the University State Bank, 955 Iowa St., said that the bank was cautious about cashing third-party checks written by individuals but that cashing checks written by businesses was common.
"It all depends upon the individual," Sweeney said. "If we know him personally, or we know him by face, he can cash a check for more than what he's got in an account."
Third-party checks written by government agencies, such as social security, tax refunds and some payroll checks, would be easily cashed, according to Vern Horton, vice-president and head of teller operations at the Cayman Islands Lawrence, Ninth and Massachusetts streets.
However, she said, the bank generally abides by its policy of casing checks when the customer has the equivalent amount in an account.
Checks that are cached are sent to the bank and drawn on or sent for collection at the bank.
Lorothy Staus, teller, at Lawrence Savings Association, 901 Vermont St., said that money in a customer's account could be more money would be there if the check bounced.
A teller at Anchor Savings Association, 900 Ohio St., said that the institution had only a limited amount of cash on hand for cashing checks.
