How to Create Customized Checks

Because you use your checking account frequently, wouldn't it be great to create checks personally customized by you? Although banking institutions do offer you the option of ordering customized checks, most of the times the selection that is available for you to choose from is very limited. By creating your own checks, you can unlimit yourself. You will feel great every time you use a check that was created for you and by you.

1. Visit a website that allows you to customize your own check sheets, such as Vista Print, WalMart Checks.Com and Checks Unlimited.

2. Select the option to create “Business Checks” if you desire an entire sheet of checks. Otherwise, select the option to create individual checks.

3. Choose the template design you would like to use for your checks. Select the quantity of checks you would like to order.

4. Provide the company with your bank account information. Before entering your bank account information check to see if the website is a secure website. If the site is secure, there will be a padlock in the address bar. After verifying that the site is secure you will need to enter information such as your bank’s routing number, your checking account, name on the account, address, etc… You will also need to enter the number you would like your new check sheets to begin with.

5. Enter your credit a card information to purchase the check sheets you have designed. Provide the address you would like for the checks to be shipped to.

6. Purchase and use your own check design software if you do not wish to design your checks online. Some of the check design software you can use is CheckSoft, Quicken, Quickbooks, etc...
