what is the difference between a warrant and a check
Special topic: The Difference Between Checks and Warrants. A check is a demand instrument. A check, as all know, is an instrument that is given between one party and another that represents payment. The party receiving the check expects that he will be able to immediately transform this into a liquid asset.
A warrant is a short-term bearer bond. Long Version: Warrants are similar to checks in that they are instruments that represent payment and are usually printed on a form that has the same look as a check. The instrument is an asset to the receiving party but is not considered a liquid asset.
