Could you please elaborate on the concept of "onus" in the context of a check? Are you referring to the responsibility or obligation placed on a party involved in the check transaction? If so, is it the responsibility of the issuer to ensure the check is valid and funds are available, or the responsibility of the recipient to verify the authenticity of the check before depositing it? Additionally, is there a specific legal framework that outlines the onus in regards to checks, and how does it differ from other forms of payment?

The Auxiliary On-Us field is a feature found on certain types of checks, particularly those of a business size. It serves as an additional layer of information, located on the MICR line at the bottom of the check.

This optional field is not present on all checks, but when it is, it occupies the leftmost position of the MICR line, preceding even the routing number field.

However, for individuals and businesses receiving checks, the Auxiliary On-Us field may not be immediately recognizable or understood. It is essential to understand that its inclusion does not affect the check's validity or value.
