Answer 1

Get help from your bank.

Answer 2

This is how a cheque is read from bottom left to right

PS the cheque number is always in the top right hand corner...usually starting at 1 and continuing.

Anyway a cheque is read like this

005    11629     899    2284******

005  = cheque number      (top right hand)

11629 =  branch number  (physical branch)

899 = financial institution  (ie Bank of America, CIBC, etc..

2284**** = your bank account number
