Overview

This novel feature allows you to send a multi party check to 2 recipients. One recipient must endorse the check in order for the other to be able to deposit it. You can find more details about the endorsing process here.

Recipients instantly receive their check via email and can choose to either deposit the check online or print for in person or mobile deposit. You can find more details about the deposit options here.

The API reference for sending a Multi Party Check can be found here. The interactive form allows you to test the API endpoint in our demo environment right from the reference page.
