A method of preventing cheque fraud comprises applying a transparent protective layer to at least the face of the cheque to prevent tampering with the cheque. The transparent layer can be an adhesive-coated layer which is applied to the face of the cheque. Alternatively, the cheque can be completely encapsulated between first and second protective plastics layers, using an encapsulating machine. In another embodiment of the method, the cheque is printed or coated with a protective layer that has a physical characteristic that changes after signing of the cheque, to render it tamper proof. For example, the cheque can be coated with a photosensitive plastics layer that is exposed to a suitable light source after signing thereof, causing the layer to harden irreversibly. |
