Running out of checks is an old problem, but today there are new, hassle-free solutions on how to get your next checkbook. Instead of heading to the bank, you can now order checks straight to your door.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You may be wondering how secure it is to order checks online. However, by following these six steps, you can safely and conveniently have checkbooks delivered anytime you need them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Find a Reputable Retailer<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first step is to find a company you can trust that has a proven record of reliable service. For example, <\/span>Checkworks<\/a><\/strong> is a privately owned and operated business that has been providing check printing services for 80 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not only that, but we have been a member of the Better Business Bureau since 1996. Only put your trust in a business with distinguished credentials such as these.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check for These Six Essential Safety Features<\/span><\/h2>\n

For superior security, check online product descriptions and images to make sure your checks have these key features:<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chemically Sensitive Paper<\/strong> – Prevents checks from being altered.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Microprint Signature Line<\/strong> – These small letters can be read only by a magnifying glass and appear to be dashed or solid lines to the naked eye. An \u201cMP\u201d designer is used in combination with the microprinted text.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Security Screen<\/strong> – Fine printing with reversed text on the backside of the check. These are not easily duplicated by a color copier or any type of printer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Padlock Icon and Warning Box<\/strong> – Warns consumers about the security features on the document. Authorized only by the \u201cCPSA\u201d Check Printers Stationery Association.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Additional Security Features<\/strong> – Supplementary private features to provide increased protection.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Unique Security Features<\/strong> – For example, Checkworks exceeds the requirements of all financial institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Double-Check Your Personal Information<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Before ordering your next checkbook, be sure that all of your important banking information, such as your routing number, account numbers, name, and address are up to date and correctly recorded. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Failing to accurately type this information means you will need to reorder checks. Luckily, you can easily place another order online to avoid hassle at the bank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Add EZShield Fraud Protection<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Add-ons like <\/span>EZShield<\/a><\/strong> can guarantee even further peace of mind against fraud. EZShield gives your checks an added layer of protection for as low as $1.99. With this addition, you can cover up to $25,000 of qualified losses against forged signatures and endorsements or altered checks. <\/span><\/p>\n

    You will also be matched with a resolution specialist for personalized help to restore your identity in the case of identity theft. Considering identity theft and fraud are increasing issues, it only helps to have added security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Choose the Best Shipping Method<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The best companies offer multiple shipping method options that vary in delivery times and prices. If you are in a rush and need checks quickly, you can personalize the delivery times to suit your needs. <\/span><\/p>\n

    For example, Checkworks offers a range from First Class Mail at $2.99 and Priority Mail Express (overnight delivery) at $49.99. If you’re on a budget, you can even choose from a variety of <\/span>free shipping checks<\/a><\/strong> that start as low as $5.99 for a smaller quantity. This option is ideal for new or casual check users.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Ensure Your Mailing Address Is Theft-Proof<\/span><\/h2>\n

    When ordering anything by mail it is essential to check that your mailing address is current and accurate. Only have checks mailed to a secure and frequented mailbox, such as a key-accessible home mailbox, to help prevent theft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Ordering checks online saves time and can even help you save money. All you need is a trusted business like Checkworks to deliver them to your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
