What We Do
Accounts Payable (and Receivable, too) Made Easy!
At Checkbook, we have built a way to send and receive Digital Checks instead of dealing with paper and postage, or expensive online transactions. Digital Checks offer a clear financial and operational advantage for businesses with instant delivery, and online deposit, at a fraction of the cost of other payment options. Just $1 per transaction, regardless of the amount.
No more stuffing and stamping. Simply hit ‘Send’
Send digital checks in seconds with our seamless interface at www.checkbook.io. Simply enter the recipient’s name, email, and the amount -that’s it! The recipient will receive an email of their check that they can instantly deposit, or print if they choose. Have multiple recipients? Upload a CSV file and send mass checks easily. We’re also integrated with Quickbooks! Download the app at the Intuit Marketplace.
Easy Onboarding
The convenience of Checkbook is that recipients do not need a Checkbook account, just an email address. We take care of the rest with instant bank account verification for on-the-spot deposit -or they can print a paper check, if that’s their preference.
Live Check Tracking
No more “I never received a check.” With Checkbook’s integrated accounting dashboard, you can follow every digital check through every point of the process, from delivery and deposit to posting.
The Bottomline
Checkbook’s Digital Check technology is an end-to-end, simplified payments solution that combines both cost-savings and convenience. Get rid of check clutter and go digital today!
