Nonprofits, churches, libraries and associations

Check writing your treasurer will actually enjoy.

Vendors, reimbursements, grants, honorariums, refunds — mission-driven organizations still write a lot of checks, often with a part-time bookkeeper or a volunteer treasurer. SimpleChex keeps it simple: write the check, print it on plain paper or email it, and keep a clean record for the board.

Built for how nonprofits handle money

An audit trail for every check

Who wrote it, who printed it, who emailed or voided it, and when. Easy to show your board, finance committee or auditor.

Access that matches the role

Invite your bookkeeper, treasurer or office administrator and limit each person to specific bank accounts — the operating account but not the endowment, for example.

Memo every check

Note the fund, grant, program or invoice on each check so reconciliation and restricted-fund reporting are easier.

No check stock to reorder

Print on plain paper with a real MICR line, or keep using the blank check stock you already have.

Email checks to vendors

Send a check as a PDF; the vendor prints and deposits it and can confirm it's genuine on our verification page.

Several entities, one login

A church and its school, a foundation and its operating nonprofit, or a bookkeeper serving several organizations — switch between them from one workspace.

Good habits SimpleChex makes easy

Separate duties: have one person prepare checks and another approve and sign them. With team access you can limit a volunteer to the one account they prepare checks for, and have the treasurer review and sign the printed checks by hand instead of using a saved signature.

Keep check numbers unique and sequential per account, and record voided checks instead of discarding them. SimpleChex numbers checks automatically and logs every void.

Reconcile monthly. Export your check history and compare it with the bank statement so your board sees a clean report.

Frequently asked

Can a church or nonprofit use the free plan?

Yes. One organization can write up to 10 checks a month free, with no credit card. Unlimited checks are $5/month.

Can volunteers write checks without seeing every account?

On the Firm plan you can invite teammates and limit each one to specific organizations or bank accounts.

Will our bank accept checks printed on plain paper?

Yes. SimpleChex prints the standard E-13B MICR line banks read. We suggest writing a small test check first.

Can we keep using our pre-printed blank check stock?

Yes. SimpleChex supports standard top-check stock, and you can fine-tune the layout per bank account.

Does SimpleChex replace our accounting software?

No. It handles writing, printing and emailing checks and keeps a history of them. Keep your books in the accounting system you already use.
