Checkeeper offers customized business checks printable on demand, as well as a full suite of check printing and mailing outsourcing options for busy entrepreneurs and professionals who want their check payments printed and mailed for them. Trying to choose between printing your own checks or opting to outsource to Checkeeper? Consider some situations where one is the better choice over the other:

·      You only need a check or two

For small-volume check needs, printing your customized business checks on demand is an efficient and economical way to go. Checkeeper prints custom checks on any check stock of choice, using any standard office printer. No special ink or toner needed.

·      You need a check instantly

Instead of wasting precious time ordering and waiting for bank or third-party checks to arrive, print a check exactly when you need it so that your bill payments are always on time. Late payments mean late fees; Checkeeper puts a check in your hands in a matter of seconds.

·      You need a check in your own hands before disbursement

If your check requires special enclosures, attachments, or promotional items that must come directly from you, printing your checks on demand is the most efficient way to go. Use Checkeeper to customize your check with your company logo and design images so that your payment check complements your other marketing material.

·      The payee is on site

When you can simply hand your check to someone on site or nearby, printing your own check saves mailing costs and supplies. Select one of your saved check templates, and print your needed check the moment you need it to hand-deliver to your employee, contractor, or affiliate.

·      You have all the printing and mailing supplies available

If your office is well-stocked with printing and mailing supplies, you have all you need to print your own checks and mail them promptly. Checkeeper requires no specialty supplies, equipment, ink, toner, or check paper; use the supplies and equipment you already have handy.

Use Checkeeper check mailing services when:

·      You need a lot of checks mailed quickly

When you have a lot of bills that need to be paid quickly, printing and mailing them all yourself may not be an efficient use of your time.  Order your check payments to be printed and mailed for you, and Checkeeper can have them in the mail by the end of the same business day. Import your CSV file, or take advantage of Checkeeper’s bill-to-check conversion feature by linking Checkeeper to Odoo or Xero. Payment checks can be generated automatically and payment data recorded and stored for you. Have a really large order? Checkeeper also offers high-volume check printing and mailing that takes over all the work.

·      You are out of town or away from your office

Fewer people today travel with cash and checkbooks on hand than in years past. When you are out of town or away from your office and realize you need to issue payments, Checkeeper makes it easy. Order your checks printed for you—right from your device—and select the delivery speed optimal for your payment situation. Checkeeper provides all the printing and mailing supplies so that you don’t have to.

·      Your attachments can be uploaded and printed for you

Checkeeper can print and mail your needed attachments, enclosures, invoice tables, benefits explanation sheets, and other important documentation. Upload your attachment and include with your check mailing order.

·      You don’t have printing and mailing supplies readily available

Small offices, mobile offices, and shared offices do not always have a lot of paper supplies readily available. If it is not efficient or feasible for your business to stock and store a lot of paper, envelopes, stamps, printer equipment, etc., then Checkeeper mailing is for you. Order your checks printed and mailed by Checkeeper, and never stock another supply again.

·      You want a choice of delivery speed and tracking options

Checkeeper offers four priority delivery methods to choose from, including an overnight option and a second-day option for those payments that need to arrive quickly. Checkeeper also offers tracking options for three of the four delivery methods so that busy professionals can trace the chain of custody and verify that a payment has been received.
