Multi Party Payments
Verified Bank Account Needed
In order to be able to send checks, you need to have a verified bank account in the Checkbook system. Please refer to the Add a Bank Account section for instructions on how to add a bank account to your Checkbook.io profile.
Multi Party Payments
Overview
This novel feature enables you to send a multi-party check to up to 5 recipients. All recipients other than the depositor must endorse the check in order for it to be deposited. You can find more details about the endorsing process on the following page.
Recipients instantly receive their check via email and can choose to either deposit the check online or print the check for in-person or mobile deposit.
The API reference for sending a multi-party check can be found in the Checkbook API Reference Guide. The interactive form enables you to test the API endpoint in the Checkbook demo environment directly from the reference page.
