We received an offer from an out of state buyer and he says he can provide us a certified bank check.
Is that a safe avenue?
Better than or different than a cashier's check?
It's basically another (newer) name for a cashier's check. I think there may be a technical difference in that it's in the bank's name alone or something, but for practical matters it's the same.
It's safe if the buyer is on the square...but then again, that's true for a personal check or most any other form of payment. Bank checks have been forged, and stop payments can be issued on them, so it's not absolutely secure if the buyer has nefarious intentions.
