For direct deposit, payroll and auto-pay. Type your bank details, then download a PDF or print. No email, no sign-up — nothing you type leaves your browser.
The VOID stamp means it can never be cashed. It only tells them where to send the money.
Your routing and account numbers from the bottom of a check or your online banking; the bank name fills in for most banks. Add your name and address.
Download the PDF (or an image) to upload, or print it on plain paper — the printed design makes it look like a real check.
Attach it to the direct-deposit form, upload it to the payroll portal, or take a picture with your phone.
A voided check works because it shows your routing number and account number exactly as the bank prints them, in the bank-readable font at the bottom. Writing VOID across it means nobody can fill it in and cash it.
One of your own checks with VOID written across it so it can never be cashed. Employers, payroll companies and billers ask for one because it shows your bank's routing number and your account number exactly as the bank prints them — what they need to set up direct deposit or automatic payments.
No. A VOID check only carries information and can't be cashed, so plain printer paper is fine. With the plain-paper option the check prints with a tinted design, so a photo or scan looks the part.
The check is drawn entirely inside your browser, and the PDF is made there too. Nothing you type is sent to Make A Check or stored anywhere; close the tab and it's gone. Only hand the check to someone you'd trust with your bank details — the same as with any voided check.

Yes. A voided check has no value; it conveys your routing and account numbers, the same information a bank puts on a direct-deposit letter. Enter your own account details only.
The guides cover the questions that come with a voided check: how to get one with or without a checkbook, which number is which, and what payroll will ask you for.
