1. Blank cheque

   A blank cheque in the literal sense is a cheque that has no monetary value written in, but is already signed. In the figurative sense, it is used to describe a situation in which an agreement has been made that is open-ended or vague, and therefore subject to abuse, or in which a party is willing to consider any expense in the pursuance of their goals. The term carte blanche (lit. 'white card') is used in a similar way.

1. blank cheque

   A blank cheque is a cheque that has been signed by the drawer but does not specify the monetary amount or receiver's name. It thereby gives the person who receives it, or the bearer, the authority to fill in the amount and recipient's name. This can be risky as it essentially offers unlimited access to the funds available in the drawer's account.
