What it is
CheckWriter is a browser-based application for accepting check payments by phone, fax or online, then printing check drafts for deposit. The maker says those drafts can be deposited at any U.S. bank and credited to a ledger balance the same day at full face value. Recurring billing can run on daily, weekly, bi-weekly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual cycles when properly authorized, and the software automatically verifies routing numbers. Listed tools include customer and transaction records, customizable fields, notes, printable invoices, customizable reports, batch printing and CSV export. It can import information from shopping carts, order forms and text or CSV systems. The maker describes CheckWriter Cloud as PCI/DSS compliant and says it follows KYC and AML procedures and complies with Federal Reserve Regulation CC, EPC-6 and Check21. It advertises no transaction fees or discount rates for CheckWriter Cloud. The Cloud Single User Limited plan costs $8 a month. The Occasional Use plan costs $25 a year and lists four checks per month; its billing details also show a $29 one-time setup fee and $25 every six months. The company was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Boston.
