Everything a check writer should do

Amount in words, automatically

Type 1,250.00 and SimpleChex writes "One thousand two hundred fifty and 00/100". No spelling mistakes, no mismatches.

Print on plain paper

A complete check with a real E-13B MICR line, printed on letter paper with any laser printer.

Email as an eCheck

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

Signatures

Upload a signature image or create a typed one. It's placed on the signature line for you.

Saved payees

Names and addresses you pay often are one click away.

History, void and reprint

Every check is kept with its number, date and amount, plus a log of who printed, emailed or voided it.

Several businesses, one login

Run checks for more than one business or client from a single workspace and switch between them.

Team access

Invite teammates and limit each one to the businesses or bank accounts they should touch.

Who uses an online check writer?

Small businesses that pay a handful of vendors by check and don't want to buy accounting software just for that. Bookkeepers who print checks for several clients. Landlords, nonprofits and churches that still get asked for checks. And individuals who need a check for rent or a one-off payment after their checkbook ran out.

What they have in common is that they want the check done right and fast, without learning a new system. That's the whole point of SimpleChex: one screen to write a check.

Is writing checks online safe?

Your bank details are stored encrypted, each workspace's data is isolated from every other workspace, and account numbers never appear in links or analytics. Every check you write is recorded in an audit log, and emailed checks link to a verification page so the person receiving one can confirm it really came from you.

Frequently asked

Does it work with QuickBooks?
