Fund EZ Integration: Check Printing, Check Mailing & eChecks
If you run a nonprofit, you already know the drill. Grants come in restricted. Boards want reports. Vendors want checks. And your Fund EZ software handles the accounting side well enough – until you need to actually get a check into someone’s hands.
OnlineCheckWriter.com- Powered by Zil Money is a fintech, not a bank. FDIC coverage is provided through our partner banks Texas National.
What Is Fund EZ?
Fund EZ is designed specifically for organizations that track restricted and unrestricted funds, manage multiple grants, and report to government agencies and funders. It handles general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, budgeting, bank reconciliations, and financial reporting – all organized around the fund accounting model that nonprofits need.
The software does include a check printing feature through its accounts payable module. But that feature has limitations – and those limitations are exactly where OnlineCheckWriter.com steps in.

Why Fund EZ Users Need a Better Way to Print and Mail Checks
Fund EZ can print checks. That part is true. But what the feature page does not tell you is how that process actually works day to day – and where it falls short for busy nonprofit teams.
You have to order check stock from a specific vendor
Fund EZ works with NELCO for check stock and forms. That means you need to order pre-printed or compatible check stock from that supplier, keep it in inventory, and make sure you do not run out before the next grant disbursement cycle. If you run low on a Friday afternoon and payments are due Monday, you are stuck.
With OnlineCheckWriter.com, you print on blank stock from any office supply store. No vendor lock-in.
Only two check layouts
Fund EZ offers two check formats – top check or bottom check. That is it. If your organization needs a different layout, or if your bank requires a specific format for processing, you do not have options.
OnlineCheckWriter.com offers multiple check templates. You can also upload your own design.
No check mailing service
Fund EZ prints checks to your local printer. That is where its job ends. After that, you are on your own. Someone on your team has to fold the checks, stuff envelopes, print addresses, add postage, and walk them to the mailbox or post office.
OnlineCheckWriter.com mails checks for you. Click send – we handle the rest. Tracking included.
ACH payments - still waiting
Multiple Fund EZ users have reported that ACH payment capability has been promised but not delivered. OnlineCheckWriter.com supports ACH payments right now. Same-day setup. No waiting.
Check number tracking across reports is clunky
Fund EZ users have reported difficulty seeing check numbers alongside invoice details in accounts payable reports. You end up pulling data from multiple reports to reconcile a single payment. That is time your finance team could spend on grant compliance or board reporting.
OnlineCheckWriter.com logs every check with full details – check number, payee, amount, date, print status, and mailing status – in one dashboard. Export reports anytime.
How the Fund EZ and OnlineCheckWriter.com Integration Works
The integration is simple. Fund EZ exports data. OnlineCheckWriter.com turns that data into printed or mailed checks.

Print or mail
You have two options – print yourself on blank check stock from any printer, or let OnlineCheckWriter.com handle everything.
Print Yourself
Hit print. Use any standard printer with blank check stock. Every check includes MICR encoding – the same magnetic ink technology banks use to process checks. Your checks look and work like any check from any bank.

Who Should Use This Integration
Nonprofit Finance Directors and Controllers
You manage grant disbursements, vendor payments, and reimbursements. You need checks out the door on time without adding headcount. Export from Fund EZ, mail through OnlineCheckWriter.com, and reclaim the hours your team spends on manual check processing.
Bookkeepers Managing Multiple Nonprofit Clients
If you handle accounting for several nonprofits and some of them use Fund EZ, you can centralize check printing and mailing through one OnlineCheckWriter.com account. Import data from each client’s Fund EZ export, print or mail checks for all of them, and track everything in one place.
Executive Directors at Small Nonprofits
Your team is small. Your staff wears multiple hats. The person doing accounting is also doing program coordination, fundraising calls, and board meeting prep. Taking check printing and mailing off their plate frees up real time for real work.
Grant-Funded Programs with Strict Disbursement Schedules
When grant agreements specify payment timelines, you cannot afford delays because you ran out of check stock or your printer jammed. OnlineCheckWriter.com gives you a backup – mail checks directly without depending on your office printer or your check supply.
Churches and Faith-Based Organizations
Ministry staff should not spend their afternoons stuffing envelopes for vendor payments. Export your payables from Fund EZ, upload to OnlineCheckWriter.com, and mail checks without leaving the office.
Your Accounting Records Stay in Fund EZ
OnlineCheckWriter.com does not replace Fund EZ. Your fund tracking, budgets, and reports stay exactly where they are. We handle only the part Fund EZ does not do well – getting the check printed and into the right hands.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Not directly through. But if you export your payment data from Fund EZ and import it into OnlineCheckWriter.com, you can print checks on blank stock from any supplier using any standard printer.
Does Fund EZ have a check mailing service?
No. Fund EZ prints checks to your local printer. It does not mail checks on your behalf. OnlineCheckWriter.com fills that gap - we print your check on secure stock, put it in an envelope, and mail it through USPS with tracking.
