Checkeeper follows account security protocols to assure users a safe and private experience without compromising convenience. Accounts are password-protected, offer double-authentication options, and use the same level of data encryption that banks use. Checkeeper is also HIPAA- and GDPR-compliant so that medical and healthcare-related businesses can issue checks, attachments, and benefits explanations without compromising confidentiality or privacy.
Checkeepers can take some additional measures to keep their accounts secure and their payment histories private. For an optimal experience, check out some additional security features users can exercise inside their Checkeeper accounts:
User permission settings allow Checkeeper account holders to authorize additional people to print and/or mail check payments and to maintain oversight regarding who is in the account. User permission settings can be set to allow only designated features so that account holders can control which actions others can take inside the account. Those settings can be expanded, limited, or revoked at any time by account super users. List the names and email addresses of users you wish to authorize inside the account Administration, and Checkeeper will send each person a secure link to initiate authorization.
Want an extra layer of security after authorizing an employee, partner, or remote bookkeeper to access the Checkeeper account? Account owners can add an approval requirement so that a final authorization is required before a check payment can go out.
Checkeeper follows multiple security protocols, providing accounts that are password-protected and which take advantage of the same level of data encryption that banks use. Like many online services, Checkeeper also offers a double-authentication login for those who want the extra security that comes with verifying a user before opening account access.
Checkeeper accounts come with an online, searchable check registry that records and stores all check details for you. Reports run through Checkeeper are comprehensive, listing not only the recorded payment data, but also the authorized user who initiated the check and the date and time of check creation. This gives account holders the extra assurance of accountability and transparency among all users.
Checkeeper offers check mailing services, including four priority delivery methods for those users who want their checks printed and mailed for them. Create the checks you wish to have sent, or upload a file with payment data if there are many checks you need generated at once, and select your delivery preference. Priority Mail, Next-Day Air, and Second-Day Air all offer tracking options for greater security and monitoring for those payments whose timing and custody you want to oversee.
While you can use Checkeeper to print as many blank, ready-to-use checks as you choose, a more secure option is to print only the checks you need that day. Leaving blank business checks on desks or in drawers can compromise security, open your account to fraudulent use, and needlessly expose sensitive bank information to unauthorized users. Checkeeper’s print-on-demand feature means that you don’t have to carry or store blank, ready-to-use business checks in order to issue payments on demand. Print what you need imminently, or have Checkeeper do it for you.
Unlike services that go into your bank account or transfer your funds into a separate fund for holding, Checkeeper leaves users’ money in their own hands. The Checkeeper template prints bank account and routing numbers exactly as they are input by users (automatically formatted in the MICR font that is necessary for bank processing), and those numbers can be changed when users open additional accounts or change banks altogether. Checkeeper keeps users in control of their own funds and does not charge separate service fees, convenience fees, or heavy-usage fees so that users are never surprised by unexpected charges.
