There are quite a few questions that you might want to ask when you are considering whether or not you want to hire a check printing company. Naturally, you will want to hire a company that prints checks for an affordable price, one that does so quickly, and one that provides excellent customer service.
Here are six questions to ask when you are hiring a company to outsource your check printing services.
What Kinds of Services Do You Provide Aside From the Check Printing Service?
Naturally, whichever company you hire will have the ability to issue checks for your use, whether for business or personal purposes. If you choose Checkissuing.com, one of the services we provide, in addition to printing checks, is mailing them out as well. We keep you informed about the delivery process of your check and let you know when it is expected to arrive. We also offer an ACH Direct Deposit service, allowing you to send payments quickly and securely to whomever you need to pay.
You can also send digital checks through electronic means immediately if you use our Checkissuing Platform. Checkissuing’s digital check services include end-to-end solutions, meaning that whoever receives a digital check from you can deposit it in only a few moments. To send a digital check, you only need to know the recipient’s name, email address, and the amount in dollars. As you might expect, this means you can benefit from not having to pay for an envelope and the cost of postage.
If you are a business owner, you can also take advantage of our tax form processing services. We can help you print your 1099 tax form, as well as help you e-file your 1099 tax forms, as long as you meet certain requirements. These requirements are that your business has hired self-employed independent contractors and has paid these contractors at least $600 or more. This means you would need to file Form 1099-INT, MISC, or NEC for your taxes. At Checkissuing, we offer TIN Matching Services for you as well. Since you have to file 1099 MISC forms by January 31st after the IRS changed the deadline, you can rely on us to quickly file your 1099, 1096, and 1098 forms by the new deadline.
How Much Does It Cost to Print and Mail Checks on Average?
The average cost of printing and mailing a check when you choose Checkissuing.com begins at only 10 cents per check. As is the case whenever you outsource your check printing services, the cost of printing a check depends on the check’s size, your customization, and the mailing option you choose. You can customize your check with logos, marketing, tables, or additional information.
Due to federal law, you must mail your check via USPS First Class Mail. You can also mail it via USPS First Class Mail if you need to mail a check internationally. You may prefer faster mailing options; you can choose from options such as USPS Priority, USPS Priority Express, and various FedEx mailing options.
You can mail your check via FedEx 2-day shipping or FedEx overnight shipping for maximum delivery speed. Certified mail delivery makes it easier for you to track the progress of your check mailing. Regardless of which delivery option you choose, printing and mailing a check with Checkissuing.com costs a maximum of 60 cents per check.
How Do You Combat Check Fraud?
The first step we take to prevent check fraud is to use security envelopes that include a black security tint. This black security tint prevents anyone from reading any sensitive information through the check’s envelope. Our security envelopes also feature several additional security measures, including thermochromic ink, toner anchorage, a chemical wash detection box, visible fibers, payee area protection, and explicit warning bands.
We also use SAFE Checks. SAFE Checks is a top-of-the-line check fraud prevention company based in Los Angeles, California, that provides high-security checks as well as secure check-writing software and secure pay software. SAFE Checks provides a same-day check delivery service for maximum security.
You can use our secure administration system to process and upload payments, get access to reports, establish permissions, and more with just a few clicks. Regardless of who makes the payments, our system remits them to you using the payment methods you have chosen. You don’t even need to log in to any additional portals in order to ensure that the system remits payments to you via your preferred payment methods. You can also securely upload files using our encrypted EV-SSL file system through our administration system.
Alternatively, you can use our SOAP/XML API system to upload files. We utilize Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) technology when printing checks for you. Our MICR system utilizes a special type of ink and unique characters for enhanced security and protection against check fraud.
How Much Can You Customize Your Checks?
As previously mentioned, you can get customized checks if you choose to outsource check printing services to us. We can first customize the check templates that you use so your customers recognize your checks easily. You can also add logos, marketing, tables, or other important messaging to your custom check. If you want to send your customers rebates, marketing materials, and statements, we offer several customization options for that mail as well. We can even provide you with custom check samples upon request.
You can add black and white logos or colored logos. You can also add other documents or even marketing materials if you choose. A few of your options include colored flyers or documents, black and white documents or flyers, leaflets, newsletters, brochures, and even inserted return envelopes. You can customize your check further by adding pamphlets to your package.
Can You Print Checks From Multiple Bank Accounts?
With our check printing service, you can print checks from several different bank accounts if you so wish. When you outsource check printing services to us, we let you add multiple bank accounts under your single primary account. You choose which bank account to print from by selecting a bank alias within the CSV file in your primary account. You could also select which bank account to print from using the API.
What Kinds of Companies Do You Work With Usually?
We work with a variety of companies, including notable universities such as Stanford University, Yale University, and the University of Wyoming. We also work with Chegg, a company that allows students to buy and rent textbooks, offers online tutoring services, and provides additional resources.
