talones

English translation: checks;cheques/drafts

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:talones/cheques
English translation:checks;cheques/drafts
Entered by: Robert Forstag

Bus/Financial - Law (general) / Authorization of power of attorney (Spain)
Spanish term or phrase: talones
The context of the extract below is an authorization of power of attorney from Spain, and the question is what the proper translation of “talones” would be in a context where “cheques” is also mentioned. Perhaps “talones” refers to “bank drafts” and “cheques” to ordinary checks. Or maybe it is the other way around.

I did not find the help I needed in the glossaries. Apologies in advance if the answer was there and I somehow missed it.

Many thanks.

cheques
Explanation:
Cheques are understood in English as drawn by a bank customer on their own funds.

Un talón o cheque es un documento de pago que puede ser de tres tipos: el cheque bancario, avalado por una entidad bancaria o financiera (el banco que compromete a pagar el importe que aparece en el cheque); el cheque personal o talón (el más común), entregado por la entidad bancaria que guarda los ahorros de la persona que firma el cheque y es personalizado a ese titular de la cuenta aunque el banco no cubre falta de liquidez del librador (quien rellena y firma el talón); y el cheque conformado, que es un cheque personal pero con el aval del banco (un sello en el anverso y reverso) que confirma que el librador dispone de suficiente dinero para cubrir el pago del cheque.

So in your list, "cheque" would translate as "draft"

Thank you, patinba. Once again, the question was not so much regarding the translation of “talones” in European Spanish as it was on how to deal with “talones” and “cheques” when they are both mentioned within the same list of items - as was the case here.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, patinba. I had translated "libranza" as "draft," so I wonder now if that is correct (of if the list in question can simply bear two uses of "draft"). :)


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Davis: That's how "talón" is used in Spain, and a cheque book is called a talonario.
