Checks Are the Preferred Payment Method

Checks are the go-to payment method for those who want security and are tired of hidden fees. Many people prefer checks because of the security they provide, since checks are safer to mail and exchange than cash, and they can be canceled if needed. Online check printing and mailing through Checkeeper offers an easy-to-use template for printing your own checks on demand and keeping track of each check created.

Consider some occasions where printed business checks are the preferred payment method:

Rent and space leasing

Not all landlords and property managers accept credit cards or are set up for online payments. Depending on the size and location of your space, as well as the type of equipment you may be leasing to run a business, paying these obligations by check may be most expedient. Many landlords, leasing agents, and companies can accept checks, and checks act as their own receipt in case of later dispute or question.

Payments to freelancers

Freelancers that are hired for marketing, event planning, writing, website development, consulting, specialty services, and other purposes are often paid most expediently by check. If they are only contracted for a short period of time, they may only need one or two payments; if they run a small operation, they may not be set up for online or credit card payments. If they work from home or remotely, having Checkeeper send the needed check payments to their home or office is simple and fast.

Rebates, refunds, and high-volume orders

Checkeeper can print and send out hundreds or thousands of checks much more efficiently than most offices can do it. Checkeeper provides all the supplies needed for a high-volume check order for customer refunds, rebates, settlement payouts, and other mass payment types. A call or email can get you a custom quote and instructions for getting started on an order that requires fast turnaround and custom care.

Paychecks

Employers today have a wide choice of ways to pay employees, and despite the widespread adoption of direct deposit, some employees may still choose to be paid by check. Checkeeper offers a custom paycheck option for those employers who pay some or all of the staff via check. Checkeeper can offer stand-alone services for paycheck printing and mailing whereby Checkeeper can print all your paychecks and pay stubs for you and send them back to the office overnight for onsite disbursement; for businesses that use a payroll software like Gusto or Square, Checkeeper can add a custom check option with automatic integration so that payment data is added and updated in both platforms at once for optimal record-keeping.

Association dues

Not all professional and community associations are set up to accept online payments or credit cards. Those that are so equipped often pass on the convenience fees and processing charges to users. Checks are widely accepted by many organizations, and they are among the most common, trusted, and traceable ways to make monthly or annual dues payments.

Donations

Monetary donations to charities are commonly made by checks because checks offer security, and they serve as receipts for accounting and tax preparation purposes. Checks can only be cashed or deposited by the payee named, and they can be canceled if they are lost or suspected of misuse. Charities and organizations can access the full donation when they don’t have to pay the additional service charges required by other payment methods.

Checkeeper prints and mails checks for businesses

Checkeeper is the ideal adoption for busy offices because it is free to try, and it does not come with hidden fees, pricey add-ons, or extra charges for heavy account usage. Add low-cost mailing credits to your Checkeeper account to have all your payment checks printed for you and mailed according to the priority delivery method of your choice. For those occasions checks are the preferred payment method, Checkeeper can take all the work off your desk and keep payment records automatically recorded, synced, and stored.
