An Authorization Letter To Claim Cheque is a crucial document in Malaysian business and personal transactions where the original payee cannot personally collect a cheque payment. This document is commonly used when business owners need to delegate cheque collection to employees, when individuals are unable to collect cheques due to travel or illness, or when companies need to authorize specific representatives to handle banking transactions. The letter must comply with Malaysian banking regulations, including the Financial Services Act 2013 and relevant anti-money laundering legislation. It requires specific details about the authorizer, the authorized person, and the cheque itself, along with proper witnessing and potentially notarization depending on the amount involved or bank requirements. Banks in Malaysia typically require this formal authorization to protect against fraudulent transactions and ensure proper documentation of third-party cheque collections.
