Drawee - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Drawee is the party that has been ordered by the drawer to pay a certain sum of money to the person presenting the check (the payee).�Usually, the drawee is the bank.

In Weston v. FedEx Office & Print Servs., 707 F. Supp. 2d 1074, it was held by the Court that � a �drawee� means the bank on which the check is drawn. Thus, a drawee is the bank at which the money being disbursed to the employee is held and not the employer who happens to be a bank.� Similarly, in Al Sarena Mines v. SouthTrust Bank, 548 So. 2d 1356 it was held that �although �drawee� is not defined in the commercial code of Alabama, the �drawee� is the bank where the account on which the check is drawn is maintained.�
