Spanish term or phrase: referir un cheque

Hi Proz,
This is a translation about counterfeit cheques and the bank recommends - referir todos los cheques del cliente para asi poder devolver de inmediato cualquier cheque falsificado. Any help appreciated.

English translation:SCRUTINIZE THE CHEQUE

Explanation:
A procedure usually followed by bank clerks/tellers when in doubt as to the authenticity of a cheque. They check the signature against the one on their customer records files, as well as other pertinent details.

You could also use "To make a thorough inspection of the cheque", as another possibility.

Hope this helps:-)

I suggest you "To relate"

Explanation:
Because "verify" in this situation (fin. contexts) is a procedure by someone that has the rights knowledges, to decide if the cheque is a fake or not. And here happens that the Bank only is going to relate them to the client, in order to see if they are not fakes.-
Hope this helps.
Buena Suerte!

consignar datos del cliente

Explanation:
Me parece que se refiere al simple "endoso" que efectúa el cliente cuando deposita un cheque en su cuenta bancaria, y en cuyo caso debe consignar al dorso del cheque ciertos datos como el nombre completo, nº de cuenta, nº de documento, e inclusive, en ciertas entidades bancarias, domicilio y nº de teléfono.

Cuando el cliente omite poner alguno de los datos, el propio cajero que recibe el cheque le consulta esos datos al cliente en el mismo momento, y él mismo los consigna.
