Blank check stock: Setting up

What's blank check stock?

Blank check stock is 50-80% cheaper than preprinted check stock. We print your company and banking information on the stock along with the payee information in real time, so checks won't become obsolete if you change bank accounts. To purchase, go to Purchase Blank Check Stock.

We recommend you use MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) toner or ink to print on blank check stock.

Not all printers can print consistently enough to use blank check stock. To test your printer, print a document twice, and then hold both copies together up to a light and look through them to see if there is a difference.

What to expect

To make sure we're using the right bank account, we'll need to complete these two steps:

• Confirming a test deposit. You'll need to check your bank's website for a small amount (less than $1.00) that we deposit in your bank account.
• Mailing you a PIN. We'll send you a letter with your Payroll Banking PIN.

These verifications can take 3-5 business days to complete. But if you've already done either of them for direct deposit, you don't need to do them again.
