Checks have been one of the predominant ways for businesses to issue payments for well over a century. Checks are familiar and trusted as instruments for financial transactions, but in the current economic and marketing climate, they can also be unique, brandable, and helpful in promoting a business, as well as being reliable payment tools. Online check printing through Checkeeper adds convenience and customization to one of the most trusted ways to issue and receive payment, and Checkeeper gives traditional check-writing a modern update. Through the Checkeeper template, users can customize their checks in virtually unlimited ways to help reinforce the company’s logo and brand. Check templates come automatically formatted with the necessary check fields and with account and routing numbers formatted in the MICR font that bank computers recognize. The design and layout can be edited, changed, resized, and adapted according to user preference to give each check a look as unique as the business it represents.
Checkeeper enables users to create checks that are not only highly professional, but also unique. Design checks to suit your business’s branding vibe, and include an uploaded logo that complements your other marketing material. Upload images, backgrounds, and designs that give your business check an appearance that is both professional and individual.
When designing your check, take advantage of Checkeeper’s customization options by arranging, moving, and resizing check elements to give your check the best appearance possible. Make a check element smaller or larger, depending on your check stock and design, and resize or reposition the logo or business contact information to best suit your overall desired appearance.
While most checks come with standard check fields needed to conduct a financial transaction—including, date, payee, amount, etc.—some businesses choose to streamline the bookkeeping process by adding additional check elements in order to save time and improve accuracy. Add a field for customer ID, invoice number, or other pertinent identifier, or replace the standard ‘memo’ with a line item that your bookkeeper can use to streamline the payment process and cut down on paperwork. Only online check printing offers users the ability to add custom fields to their checks. Checkeeper’s online registry is searchable by any check field—including the ones you add yourself.
Take maximum advantage of the branding opportunity by designing your checks with designs that align with your overall marketing. Upload a unique, color logo to make your checks stand out and to reinforce your brand to every payment recipient. Add specialized backgrounds and design images, when desired, to give your checks a customized, professional look that makes your company brand more memorable.
When you want to documentation to accompany your check payments, Checkeeper makes it easy. Add enclosures to the check, or attach invoices, invoice tables, pay stubs, benefits explanations, or any other pertinent material that explains your transactions and/or helps streamline the bookkeeping. Simple instructions within the dashboard guide you through uploading an attachment from a file or for inputting the data yourself.
Some business owners prefer check-on-top layout, with room below for other financial addenda; other people use a format that places the check below the attachment, or in the middle. Checkeeper can work with any of these orientations. Scan and upload a copy of your preferred check stock and fill in check elements as needed, with attached invoices, pay stubs, benefits explanations, or other pertinent items you wish to have included with payments.
Checkeeper offers four priority delivery options, giving users control over the delivery speeds of their payments. A standard bill payment is typically sent via First-Class USPS, but payments that are large or urgent may require additional handling. When you have an important or time-sensitive payment and you want to track the chain of custody, select Priority Mail, Next-Day Air UPS, or Second-Day Air UPS to get your payments delivered faster and with greater accountability. When you are short on time or supplies, or don’t have the HR resources to process a large batch of check payments, outsource the whole job to Checkeeper. A call or email can get you a custom quote for a large order of client rebate or refund checks that need special handling.
