Fill in a form, print on blank check stock, done. The bank-readable line along the bottom is encoded correctly every time. Your first three checks are free; after that, credits from 77¢ a check, or an unlimited plan from $9 a month.
Drag the handle on the check to see blank stock become a finished check.
Just need a voided check for direct deposit? Free, no account — made in your browser.
A form on one side, a finished check on the other. The fiddly parts that make a check bank-acceptable are handled for you.
The row of numbers along the bottom is what the bank's machines read. It's set in the same machine-readable typeface banks use, sized and placed so the reader picks it up first time.
Type 1,845.00 and the check reads “One Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-Five and 00/100”. No typos on the one line that legally counts.
Every routing number is checked against the ABA checksum before it goes near a check, so a transposed digit gets caught on screen, not at the bank.
Your routing and account numbers are stored encrypted (AES-256) with a key kept separate from the database. Everywhere in the app you see only the last four digits.
Signing in from a new device takes your password and a one-time code sent to your email. It's on for every account from day one and can't be switched off.
Send it straight to your printer on blank check stock, or save a PDF and print later. A calibration nudge lines things up for any printer.
Type your bank details, download a PDF or print it — no account, no email, nothing uploaded. The check is made in your browser.
Three checks free. Then credits from 77¢ a check, or unlimited checks from $9 a month. No waiting on a box in the mail.
The first check takes about two minutes. Every one after that takes thirty seconds.
Your name and address, the bank, routing and account number — entered once, stored encrypted. Two checking accounts on the free plan, more on a plan.
Payee, amount, date, memo. The written amount and the line along the bottom fill themselves in as you type.
Load a sheet of blank security paper, hit print. Or save a PDF and print it whenever.
Ordering from the bank is slow and pricey. Other online services charge by the month whether you print or not. Here you choose: pay per check, or a plan that costs less than theirs.

Blank check stock is sold by office-supply stores in packs of 100–500 sheets. You supply the paper and the printer; this supplies everything else.
Print now and then? Buy credits — one credit prints one check, and they never expire. Print all the time? A plan prints as many as you like.
No plan, nothing recurring. One credit prints one check, and credits you buy never expire.
Reprinting a check you've already printed is free, on any plan. Payments are handled by Stripe on its secure page; card details never touch our servers.
Use the free VOID check page — type your bank details, print or save as PDF, no account needed and nothing is sent to us. Signed-in users can also print VOID checks from the app at no charge.
Yes. In the United States you're free to print checks for an account you own — what makes a check valid is the routing number, the account number and your signature, not who printed it. Businesses have done this with accounting software for decades, and banks accept them every day.
Blank check stock: security paper with a pre-printed background, sold in packs of 100–500 by office-supply stores and online. Choose the business voucher format — “check on top” — which puts the check on the top third of a letter-size sheet with two stubs below it.
The line of numbers along the bottom is specified to be printed in magnetic ink, so sorting machines can read it. Checks now move between banks as images and that line can also be read optically, so ordinary laser toner is often accepted — but the receiving bank's equipment may still read it magnetically, and whether a check it cannot read is accepted, handled by hand or returned varies by bank. If you deposit in volume, a magnetic toner cartridge drops into most laser printers and removes the doubt. More on this in the guides.
The check carries the same routing number, account number, layout and bottom-line encoding as the ones your bank sells you. Print one on plain paper first and lay it over a check from your checkbook to confirm the alignment, then deposit a small one before you rely on it.
One credit prints one check. New accounts get three free credits that last 60 days. After that you buy credits in packs — 2 for $4.49, 10 for $8.99 or 30 for $22.99 — and purchased credits never expire. Reprinting a check you already printed — a paper jam, say — doesn't use a credit.
Credits if you write the odd check: nothing recurring, and they never expire. A plan if you print regularly — Start is $9 a month or $45 a year for unlimited checks and 3 checking accounts; Professional is $14 a month or $69 a year for 10 accounts. A year costs about 58% less than paying monthly. You can cancel a plan any time and keep printing until the period you paid for ends; any credits you already bought stay in your account either way.
On our server, encrypted. Your routing and account numbers are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key that is kept separate from the database, and they are decrypted only to render your own check after you've signed in with your password and email code. Everywhere else — your account page, receipts, our logs — only the last four digits appear. A login holds two checking accounts on the free plan, three on Start and ten on Professional.
Not every time. Because the account holds bank details, a new device needs your password plus a six-digit code emailed to you — so a leaked password alone doesn't open the account. This is on for everyone and can't be turned off.
Business voucher checks: the check on the top third of a letter-size page with two detachable stubs beneath it. Personal wallet-size checks aren't supported yet.
