We also offer software that you can install on your system to automate printing and mailing.

Manages Security and Compliance

While juggling multiple responsibilities, you must ensure your check safely reaches the intended recipient. This requires being well-equipped with various security features. Additionally, industry laws and standards change with the growing security threats, and keeping up with them can be challenging.

However, our solution offers checks with built-in security features, including holograms, microprinting, watermarks, MICR lines, heat reactivity, and chemical reactivity. We also ensure that personal information is processed in an environment that complies with industry standards and protocols, such as HIPAA, CCPA, PIPEDA, GDPR, and more. We continuously update our security features so you don’t have to track changes and worry about penalties for non-compliance.

The process can feel overwhelming, whether you must send a single check or mail it in bulk. Writing and printing, stuffing envelopes, and mailing them can frustrate a non-tech-savvy person. 

However, since our solution automates the whole process, you can send a single piece with the same ease as mailing a batch. Just upload your data, whether a single recipient or a CSV list, and create checks. It frees you from spending time adding details for every piece. Our user-friendly interface makes the process straightforward, and you are not left wondering what to do next. 

Easily Sets Up Multiple Bank Accounts

You might have to make payments for multiple clients, vendors, departments, or projects. Traditionally, this would involve logging into different systems, storing numerous credentials, and switching between spreadsheets. For those with limited technical knowledge, this can become a complicated task. 

Our solution allows you to set up multiple accounts and manage them from a single dashboard. You can switch accounts, make payments, and track histories with just a few clicks.  

Hassle-Free Template Editor to Customize Checks

Customizing checks can feel challenging if you are not well-versed in designing tools. Adding logos, changing fonts, and modifying background images can frustrate a non-tech-savvy person. 

Our solution has an in-built template editor with drag-and-drop functionality. You don’t have to install additional software or integrate it. You can customize the details with just a few clicks while creating the check. This hassle-free approach gives even first-time users the confidence and freedom to personalize the templates and build a brand identity according to the requirements. 

Wide Range of Mailing Options

Some checks have to be sent urgently, while others can take time. Depending on your requirements, you must know which mailing class to choose. Limited knowledge can make managing and understanding them challenging, especially when using multiple carriers. 

Our solution has all the options on the dashboard, so you can quickly pick the best mailing method without getting bogged down by the details. You can choose from express, priority, first class, international, and other options.

You might also need proof of delivery for your check, but you don't want the hassle of taking trips to the bank for every mail you send. With us, you have the option to choose either certified or registered mail. You will receive the recipient's signature with certified mail when the piece is delivered. Going one step further, registered mail allows you to track them throughout the shipment. 

Verifies Addresses for Delivery Accuracy

Verifying addresses with third-party tools can be challenging. They have complex interfaces with technical jargon and have settings designed for advanced users. Moreover, with minimal guidance, you might struggle to understand how to input the details and interpret the results. 

Alongside the ability to print and mail checks, we also offer address verification. You don’t need technical expertise to work around it; we will ensure the check reaches the right place. Type in the address and watch as we confirm its existence and deliverability. We are CASS-certified and hence cross-check it with official USPS databases in real-time. We provide verified results and format them according to postal standards. Additionally, we offer entry-point autocomplete suggestions to help you quickly find the correct address. 

Ensures Transparency With PDF Attachments

It is a good practice to include supporting documents with your checks. This ensures that there is no misunderstanding between the parties regarding the purpose of the payment. However, merging these attachments requires manual intervention or technical tools. 

Our solution frees you from the hassle of learning new software or navigating through complicated file-sharing tools. You must select Attach PDF when creating a check and uploading the document. The PDF will be automatically linked to the check, printed, and delivered together. You can send any PDF, be it an invoice, details of goods and services, or a contract. 

Detailed Reporting to Gain Insights

Recording all transactions is essential for financial reporting, tax season, and the auditing period; however, juggling multiple spreadsheets or using disparate systems can make this challenging. 

Our solution’s straightforward feature of accessing detailed reports allows you to stay organized without technical expertise. With a click, you can set up filters for specific clients and times to get a narrowed report. These insights can simplify record-keeping and assist in decision-making, such as budgeting and cash flow management.

Real-Time Tracking to Know the Current Status

Storing tracking numbers and navigating multiple carrier sites to find your check can be a hassle. But with our solution, you will get real-time updates from the dashboard. With IMB tracking, you can monitor the check from when it entered the mail stream until it was delivered.
