SEND DIGITAL CHECKS ONLINE: EASE OF USE
- Ever wonder how to deposit a digital check online? A digital check can be instantly electronically deposited at the click of a button using a smartphone bank image capture app or by printing and depositing the physical check at a local bank or ATM. All you need to send a digital check through email is your recipient’s email address, and our system will bypass spam filters to ensure they land in your recipient's mailbox.
- Sending hundreds or thousands of digital checks electronically is done simply and instantaneously, all while being able to monitor in real-time receipt of payment via the Checkissuing dashboard or API.
- The client user interface is as intuitive and simple as it gets. Checkissuing handles authentication using Plaid, a platform integrated with 15,000+ US Banks.

- While paper checks are among the most widely accepted payment methods currently available and are preferred by many, the process of loading check stock into a printer, printing, signing, stuffing, stamping, and mailing them is costly and inefficient compared to sending digital checks, which have zero hard costs to create and send, as well as a much better impact on the environment.

ONLINE DIGITAL CHECKS POSITIVE PAY PROTECTION
- Positive Pay is a business process designed around coordinating with the client’s issuing bank in order to help prevent check fraud. It consists of submitting files to the bank that contain issued check information such as the check number, issue date, and amount. When you send an electronic check, the bank compares the data on the digital check to the information provided by the client. If the digital check information contains any discrepancies compared to the subject file, the digital check is set aside as an exception for the customer to review for accuracy.
- This process prevents altered digital checks from being cashed using a stolen account number or a blank or “washed” check. It also prevents the payee from altering the digital check amount or other vital information. Whether you are sending out 10 or 100,000 digital checks, your business will surely value the simple, straightforward process Checkissuing offers for efficiently and securely sending your digital checks out through email.
- Automated or Manual Positive Pay File-Upload system - Checkissuing offers clients a system that allows them to provide their bank's positive pay format to CI. The system can also automatically upload the files to the client's bank or make the positive pay file available for download so the user can upload it to the bank themselves.

From invoice processing and approval to scheduling payments to running reports, the dashboard offers the ability to process thousands of payments with just a few clicks.
