You do have to have SOME kind of proof....

In many cases, because of POA or joint accounts. The person signing and the person who's name is on the account really do not have to match. But I understand the policy of not wanting to take the risk.

I don't know if I'd want just anybody able to claim POA on my account and sign checks that don't have their name on them. If they have POA, they should have a letter to prove it. As for joint accounts, Hubby and I make sure all our joint account checks have both names on them so either one of us can sign 'em.
