KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Ordering pre-printed checks means waiting days and reordering every time you run low.
  • You can feel free to order blank checks online and use OnlineCheckWriter.com, powered by Zil Money, to print them yourself on blank stock with any standard printer.
  • You create and print checks on demand from a browser, with no print shop and no bank order.
  • Each check prints with the correct account and routing details and layout you control.
  • Printed checks can also go out by mail or digitally as eChecks, depending on the payee.

The moment a business runs out of checks, work stops. A payment that needs to go out today waits on a reorder that takes days to arrive. OnlineCheckWriter.com, powered by Zil Money, lets you order blank checks online and print them yourself, so instead of waiting on a box from the bank, you create the check and print it on plain stock from your own desk whenever you need one.

The Real Problem with Pre-Printed Checks

Checks are still a routine part of business payments. The Association for Financial Professionals, reported by the Federal Reserve, found that 91% of organizations still use checks. If checks are part of how you pay, how you produce them matters.

Pre-printed checks make that production slow. A box has to be ordered, printed somewhere else, and shipped to you, which can take days. Run out at the wrong moment and your payments stall until it arrives. Every reorder repeats the same wait.

“The fix for running out of checks is not a bigger order. It is the ability to print exactly what you need, when you need it.”

How to Print Your Own Checks with OnlineCheckWriter.com, powered by Zil Money

  • Print checks on-demand.

Pick up blank check stock from any office supply store and print your checks with a standard printer. There is no print shop and no bank order, so a check you need today does not wait until next week.

  • Create and customize each check.

Add your company logo, choose the fonts, and set where each field sits, then print. You control how the finished check looks, and the platform gives you the tools to build it.

  • Print for any of your accounts.

Connect your bank accounts and print checks for whichever one you are paying from, with the correct account number, routing number, and format filled in for you.

  • Print, mail, or send digitally.

Print the check yourself, have it mailed for you, or send it as an eCheck by email or text. The same check can go out whichever way the payee prefers.

On-Demand Printing Beats Waiting on a Box

For years, the only way to handle checks was to order them in bulk and store the boxes until you needed them. That ties up supplies you may not use for months and leaves you stuck the moment you run short.

Printing on blank stock flips the model. You keep a small supply of generic check paper, and the account details print only when you create the check. That means no waiting on a reorder, tighter control over who can issue a check, and no scramble when the drawer runs empty.

Running out of checks does not have to stall your week. With OnlineCheckWriter.com, powered by Zil Money, you can order blank checks online, print them yourself on demand, and send each one the way the payee prefers. Getting started online is quick.

Tired of Waiting on a Check Reorder?

Create your check, print it on blank stock, and send it your way from one dashboard.
