A check is a "negotiable financial instrument that directs a bank (the drawee or paying bank) to pay a stated amount of money to a specific person (the payee), from a designated account of the bank's depositor (the drawer of the check). The right to receive the money can be transferred by negotiation to other persons (transferees)."

The "to the order" means it does not have to be paid to the payee, but that they can direct it be paid to another (called endorsing).
