Secure Check Printing with Checkeeper
Security in financial management operations is vital for small business owners, as billions of dollars are lost every year due to fraud. Strong internal controls, careful monitoring of financial transactions and bank statements, and adoption of only trusted services can help reduce the incidents and opportunities for fraudulent activity. Checkeeper is a trusted check printing and mailing service serving thousands of businesses and continually improving to protect account security. Checkeeper follows stringent safety protocols to protect users’ accounts from unauthorized access or misuse. Checkeeper is compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, SOC II, and uses the same level of encryption that banks use. Checkeeper also allows account owners to control which check features authorized users can access and to monitor all the transactions that go through the Checkeeper account with reporting features that list the authorized user for each initiated transaction.
Checkeeper offers unique safeguards:
Financial control
Checkeeper offers templates for online check printing, as well as customizing options, automatic recording, and complete mailing services. Checkeeper does not touch users’ funds, go into their bank accounts, or move their money into a separately-held account for transfers. All bank account and routing numbers appear on your printed check exactly as you input them, automatically formatted by Checkeeper in the MICR-encoded font that bank computers recognize. Checkeeper does not move or manage your money, keeping you in control of your finances.
HIPAA compliance
Checkeeper respects users’ privacy and security when it comes to personal, financial, or medical information. Checkeeper is compliant with HIPAA and GDPR, and it is safely used by health and medical offices for on-demand check printing and mailing, with or without added attachments, benefits explanations, and enclosures.
User permissions and approvals
To maintain an extra level of oversight and accountability in the payment process, Checkeeper enables user permissions and approval authorizations for a more efficient, secure payment system. Add the names and email addresses of new users you wish to authorize, and select the check printing and mailing features they are permitted to access. Checkeeper will send each new authorized user a secure link to follow for account setup. Account holders, super users, can limit, revoke, or expand those permissions at any time. Add an approval authorization if you want to give final approval to large or important payments before they are printed and issued.
Oversight and accountability
Run reports as often as needed to balance accounts, track expenses, reconcile statements, or prepare documentation for your accountant. Input a custom time frame, and Checkeeper can generate a report listing all checks created within those dates. The report will include not only check payment data—payee names, dates, amounts, check numbers, etc.—but also the name of the authorized user who initiated the check and the date and time of its printing. Checkeeper gives account holders the ability to monitor and oversee account usage and keep all transactions accountable and transparent.
Checks printed on demand
Allowing checks and checkbooks to remain in open view, in unsecured drawers, or lying on desks creates opportunity for fraud and misuse, as well as misplacement. Since business checks bear the company logo and represent your business, they are important financial documents that should not be accessible to just anyone. Online check printing eliminates the need to store blank, ready-to-use checks and replaces it with checks that can be customized and printed on demand. Print only the checks you need, when you need them, and keep all information private in a password-protected account with software that uses the same level of encryption that banks use.
Checkeeper has stepped in during security breaches for other financial services
The last few years have witnessed a rise in security breaches of online financial services, as well as several bank failures and many discontinuations of check-related products. In each of those instances, thousands of clients faced an immediate need for a temporary solution to keep payment checks and payroll checks issued without disruption. Checkeeper remains the go-to solution for those cases where an emergency fix is needed quickly. Checkeeper is free to try, simple to navigate, and quick to adopt; it can be used for as short or long a term as needed and can offer a bridge in the payment process when regular services become unavailable. Checkeeper also offers complete check printing and mailing services to help out when an outsourced solution is needed for bill payments, paychecks, or high-volume check mailing orders.
