Personalised Checks

I recently opened an account, and they provided me with a checkbook including about 8 checks, none of which have my name and address in the upper left hand corner. Is this normal, or are they basically worthless due to that area being blank?

My credit union has a hold policy on personal checks, and I don’t feel like depositing checks and waiting before I can withdraw them. The issuers bank is nearby, and I was wondering if most banks will cash checks issued by them (without any fees) if I don’t have an account with them.

I want to buy an iPhone today, I was wondering if they accept personal checks.

I want pretty checks, where can I get them? What is the best site?

is it safe to order personal checks online when the company is asking for your social security number, birthday or a voided check to verify your checking account?
