5 Things You May Not Have Known About Business Checks

Printing checks for your new or growing business? Checkeeper is the go-to software tool for business check printing for busy professionals. Business owners who haven't switched to online check printing and mailing yet may be surprised to learn some interesting things about checks:

1.    Checks don’t require special paper

Online check printing has made creating and customizing business checks more convenient and affordable than ever before. High-quality check stock gives business checks a professional look, but Checkeeper can print checks on blank paper, as well, if that’s all you have available. Upload an image of your preferred check design, or use a template provided, and arrange, edit, and adjust the appearance as preferred. Checks that you order to be printed and mailed by Checkeeper will be printed on high-quality check stock and in the MICR ink that bank computers recognize for better security.

2.    Printing your own checks can save money

Printing your own checks is an affordable alternative to ordering checks from banks or third-party suppliers. Instead of ordering hundreds of blank, ready-to-use checks that may eventually become outdated in their info, many small business owners prefer to print their own custom checks on demand so that there are no outdated or wasted checks. Information on the checks—including contact info, bank info, and account numbers—can be changed and updated as often as needed, which saves a lot of money that would otherwise need to be spent on ordering and reordering new checks every time you move, change banks, open a new account, or update your logo. Checkeeper offers an affordable monthly subscription and a free trial to new users. Sample, without cost, commitment, or risk, all the features of unlimited check printing for 14 days before making a decision.

3.    Business checks can be customized to complement marketing

Your checks are vital transactional tools, but did you know: they can be customized to complement your marketing, as well, with online check printing. Checkeeper enables users to upload a custom, color logo into the account and then add it to any check. Logos can be edited, replaced, or resized whenever desired, and they can be omitted from some checks, if necessary. Other design images can also be uploaded and used so that your checks reinforce your brand and work in tandem with other marketing material your company sends out.

4.    Checkeeper can maintain your check registry for you

Maintaining an accurate check registry is important to good bookkeeping, but transaction recording that requires manual data entry is prone to error and omission. Checkeeper online check printing software automates your check registry so that users do not have to enter manually the details of each check transaction. The payment details of each check—payee name, amount, date, check number, etc.—are recorded and stored for you in your online registry that is searchable by any check field. Checkeeper will also record the authorized user who initiated each check, as well as the date and time of check creation. These details can be helpful for adding security and accountability, as well as for generating comprehensive reports for expense tracking and accounting. Checkeeper’s online check registry contains more payment data than is contained in the paper check registries users have to update themselves.

5.    Check printing and mailing can be outsourced

Printing your own checks on demand from the convenience of your home, office, or travel location saves time, costs less, requires very few supplies, and improves recording accuracy. To get more of all of those benefits, consider outsourcing the check printing and mailing to Checkeeper.
