Online check printing and mailing offers numerous benefits to busy offices and to traveling professionals. If you’re still issuing checks from a traditional checkbook, 2025 is the year to ditch the checkbook in favor of online check printing and mailing that can put a customized business check in your hands (or in the mail) in only a matter of clicks.

Consider some reasons business owners have given up their paper checkbooks and registries in favor of online check printing:

Preprinted checks cannot be changed

Your business checks likely have your company’s contact info and location, as well as vital bank information needed for check processing, but if your business moves, opens additional locations, or changes banks, your preprinted checks are no longer accurate or useful. Online check printing software has come along to put an end to outdated, wasted checks. Checkeeper offers a check-printing platform that enables users to choose a check template, or design one of their own, and to edit, re-edit, design, and redesign the checks as often as needed. Blank, ready-to-use checks cannot be edited or changed; only checks you print on demand can be endlessly updated to reflect accurate info about your business.

Checkbook registries need manual updating

Physical checkbooks and registries require manual entries and updates, and they can be prone to errors of omission, duplication, and miscalculation. When you have more than one person in the office authorized to issue checks, physical checkbook registries and ledgers have to be shared, circulated, and stored in multiple places so that everyone can have access. Checkeeper reduces the hassle and the errors associated with manual data entry and shared access. Authorize multiple users to access your online check registry remotely to keep all data updated and stored in real time. Your Checkeeper online registry remembers and records all the check details so that you don’t have to.

Checkbooks don’t mail payments for you

Checks remain a convenient, trusted, and widely-accepted way to issue and receive payments, but they cannot mail themselves. Checkeeper offers a full array of check printing and mailing services that take all the work off your desk and provide every needed printing and mailing supply for you. Order your checks to be printed and mailed from the Checkeeper fulfillment center, and checks can be in the mail by the end of the business day according to the delivery speed of your choice. Checkeeper provides the check stock, envelopes, and stamps for you. Save time when you need a lot of checks printed and mailed by simply importing your data file directly into Checkeeper to have all checks automatically created and filled out in only a couple of clicks.

Checkbooks have to be on you

Writing out each check individually takes time away from other tasks, and it is only possible to do when your checkbook is in your pocket. Busy professionals who travel or who share access to bookkeeping supplies with other team members do not always have checks ready to go when needed. Your Checkeeper account travels where you do and is accessible any time of the day. Set up a Checkeeper free trial, and then continue your account for as long as needed on a flat-fee, month-to-month subscription. Print only the checks needed, or, if you are out of town, add mailing credits to your account, and order checks to be printed and mailed for you anytime without a single supply needed on your end.

2025 is the year to adopt online check printing and mailing for your business

If your mailed check payments were late last year, incurred fees, or had errors in recording, this is the year to look into online check printing and mailing with Checkeeper. Reduce the money wasted on late fees and interest charges incurred by overdue payments, as well as money and time wasted correcting payment and bookkeeping errors.
