MP stands for the microprint on checks.

Suddenly the post about the microprint on checks is getting traffic so I added that bank checks also have the letters MP beside the signature line. MP stands for microprint, meaning the line where one signs ‘the name’ is actually very small print that says Authorized Signature.
