Check Payments

When sending payments, you can send a physical check¹ as the payment method for a small fee of $1.50. We will issue, endorse, and securely mail the check to the payee’s address on file. Once the payment is initiated, you can track the status of the check by selecting the three dots and then View next to the payment.
 

See our Business Checking plans support article for more information.

Outgoing check processing times will depend on the funding source of your payment. See the table below for more information.
 

Note: If you entered the payee’s bank and routing numbers when creating your payee, or if you selected the payee from the directory list, you won’t have the option to send them a check; instead, the payment will be sent electronically.
