Check API

It is an API that lets you create, print, ship, and track check payments in one place. You can easily customize the checks with your brand information. Also, you can automate check printing and mailing by setting triggers, like receiving vendor bills, due dates, and so on. It helps businesses save time, reduce manual work, and send payments faster while still delivering traditional paper checks to recipients.

First, you create or approve a payment through the API or platform. Then, the system prints the check on secure paper stock. Finally, the check is mailed to the recipient. You can set up these check printing and mailing campaigns in minutes, instead of spending weeks doing it in-house.
