Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

Hi, Mary:

You may want to consider getting away from checks at least partly,
meaning to whatever extend might be comfortable for you.

I'm suggesting you consider the relatively new service called Zelle,
especially if your bank is already a member of Zelle.

If it is a member you probably already have a feature on your bank's
phone app to allow you to securely and accessibly send money to anyone
else via their email address or mobile phone number.

This isn't the way to pay your electric bill, but you've likely already
figured how to do that without paper, envelopes, and stamps, and the
local postal mailbox.


Here's a web link to learn more:

https://www.zellepay.com/


Personally, I almost never use paper checks anymore. Frankly, the growth
of person to person payment services like Zelle, as well as services to
pay merchants like Apple Pay, PayPal, or the good old plastic
credit/debit card likely explains why there's less and less support for
trying to make handling paper payments accessible.

Good luck!

Janina

Mary,
If you find something, please let me know.
It is hard for people to believe but there are people that do not use

Bank of America does use that. I've been trying to figure out how to pay my 
rent that way. I've been writing raised line checks with an ancient manual

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi,

I never used the raised-line checks.  Bank of America used to work with a 
company called Deluxe Checking which provided customers with checks which were 
the size of a piece of typing paper which a hole punched on the left side and 
it made it easy to write checks.  But they don’t work with this company any 
more.

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

['E.T.' via MacVisionaries]

   Once I get the rent deal worked out, I won't need to write checks. I 
even use bill pay to send money to a friend. Bill pay and debit card is 
all I use.

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

May I ask how you use bill pay to send money to non businesses?  granted 
you  may have a different  definition for the term and your bank may allow 
for such going to personal accounts.  still, I am following this thread 
myself, especially as, for me personally, paypal  becomes more of a 
technical issue.

   Simple. Cannot speak for other banks but with mine, adding an entry

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi, Karen,

When I started doing online banking in 2000, I had to give the bank a list of 
my payees,whether business or personal, and write in all the necessary 
information including, address, telephone number, account number etc.  These 
payees appear in the payment section of the website and I pay whoever I need to 
by putting in the amount and when it should be paid.  After I submit this 
information, I will receive confirmation numbers showing that these bills have 
been paid.

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

[David Chittenden]

Hi,

I stopped writing checks in 2003. I was banking with Wells Fargo at the time. 
Any checks which I needed to write I set up in Bill Pay. I added all the 
details and the bank sent the check on the day I scheduled.

Now, I do not need to have any checks sent. All of my utilities and such either 
have direct bank transfers, or they receive credit cards. In some cases, the 
fee for using the credit card is lower than the benefits (points or cash back) 
which I accrue from using the card.

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

['Bill Gallik' via MacVisionaries]

On the Mac, I’m using an app named Checkbook Pro from Splasm Software.  There 
is a Checkbook Pro available for iDevices, but this is not connected with the 
Mac version to the best of my knowledge.  There are other iOS check writing 
apps.
If you want to use the app to actually print filled out checks I must advise  
that you’ll need full-sheet blank checks such as Quick Books checks.  These can 
be purchased through your bank or directly through Deluxe Checks but they are 
rather expensive.  I suppose this isn’t really a big deal if you only write a 
few checks a month.  You will likewise need the full-sheet blank checks if this 
is for an iOS device.

I typically write out 4 to 6 checks a month to pay individuals who are not 
quite as connected as electronic payments would require.  I prefer to use 
Checkbook Pro as a check register exclusively and use the check writing 
templates available through many blind service organizations.  Of course, there 
are those folks that have no idea how to form letters and/or numerals so I 
would imagine this would not be feasible for them.

One last point, the numbers that appear at the bottom of a check (Routing 
Number, Account Number and I don’t know what the third sequence of numerals 
represents) are printed on official checks with magnetic ink to facilitate 
processing.  This is why you cannot print out the entirety of a check from a 
blank sheet of paper.  Of course, I imagine those magnetic ink printers could 
be purchased but I suspect the cost would be extremely prohibitive.

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

[Karen Lewellen]

Thanks for the interesting information.
My bank still has a telephone  banking bill pay option, which I use for 
some items.   Others  like my land line use a credit card structure, still 
on the phone.  The one paper  trail, with my land lord is still not a 
check but a  debit memo, sort of a money order but without a fee  due to 
my bank account  type.

which I accrue from using the card.

Hi, Karen,

When I started doing online banking in 2000, I had to give the bank a list of 
my payees,whether business or personal, and write in all the necessary 
information including, address, telephone number, account number etc.  These 
payees appear in the payment section of the website and I pay whoever I need to 
by putting in the amount and when it should be paid.  After I submit this 
information, I will receive confirmation numbers showing that these bills have 
been paid.

Hi, Mary:
You may want to consider getting away from checks at least partly,

I'm suggesting you consider the relatively new service called Zelle,
especially if your bank is already a member of Zelle.
If it is a member you probably already have a feature on your bank's
phone app to allow you to securely and accessibly send money to anyone
else via their email address or mobile phone number.
This isn't the way to pay your electric bill, but you've likely already
figured how to do that without paper, envelopes, and stamps, and the
local postal mailbox.
Here's a web link to learn more:

Personally, I almost never use paper checks anymore. Frankly, the growth
of person to person payment services like Zelle, as well as services to

Re: Requesting Information on Checkwriting Apps

[Mary Jo Partyka]

Hi, Bill

I have a Mac so I may consider downloading Check Book pro.  I used to use 
deluxe checking for my print sheets but they are not affiliated with Bank of 
America any more. A friend of ours was able to provide me with checks that are 
the full size of a full sheet of paper so this may work.  I don’t write out 
very many cchecks but I do write out some and would like to do it privately as 
I have been doing.

Hi, David,

I use bill pay for most of my expenses but we got our kitchen fixed recently 
which necessitated writing out checks for people who provided us with service 
at that time.
