Mailed Check
Checkbook offers the ability to send physical checks via mail, providing a reliable payment method for recipients who prefer or require paper checks. While digital payments offer speed and convenience, mailed checks remain a necessary option in various scenarios:
Recipient Preference: Some individuals or businesses may not have bank accounts suitable for electronic transfers or simply prefer receiving a physical check
Legal Requirements: Certain legal or regulatory situations necessitate payment via traditional paper check
Lack of Digital Access: Recipients without consistent Internet access or comfort with digital payment methods can still receive funds securely
Record-Keeping: Physical checks can serve as tangible proof of payment for both the sender and the receiver
Timing
Checkbook offers a range of mailing options for physical checks, catering to different delivery speed requirements and recipient locations. Requests submitted before the cutoff time will be processed and mailed the same business day.
Mailing Type | Batch Cutoff | Estimated Arrival | Tracking |
---|---|---|---|
Standard | 1:00 PM PT | 3-5 business days | None |
International | 1:00 PM PT | 6-10 business days | None |

Attachments
PDF attachments can be included with Checkbook’s mailed checks, providing a way to include important supporting documentation with your payments. This feature can be useful for sending invoices, remittance advice, contracts, or other relevant documents directly to your recipients along with their check. These attachments are printed and included in the envelope with the corresponding check.
Please be aware that all attachments are printed in black and white, and there is a 7MB (megabyte) file size limit for each PDF document. Ensure PDF files are within this limit to guarantee successful processing and inclusion with your mailed payment.
