Term for having a bank draft made ?
We write or issue a check/cheque. What is it that we do with a bank draft ? I don't know if it's the same elsewhere, but with my bank, we fill out a bank draft request form, submit it at a counter, and wait for the draft to be issued.
When I mention having a bank draft made in business correspondences, I call it just that - to "have a draft made". Is there a more eloquent way of saying it ?
For that matter, do we "fill up" or "fill out" a form ?

What is the difference between a "bank draft" and a "bank check"? They are both pieces of paper drawn on the bank.

I say "fill out" or "fill in", the latter when there are only a few spaces or blanks to complete.

Some people say "cut a check". I've never understood why.

It's usually to be sent to another place. What I was searching for is a word or phrase for the act of obtaining a bank draft. Perhaps I should have made that clearer.

Why can't you just say "I will have a bank draft prepared and will send it to you."?
Be sure you note the difference between a bank draft drawn in favor of the person
