Recommended Business Checks for Different Business Needs

With over 110 years of check printing experience, Deluxe offers business checks that are trusted by financial institutions across the United States.

The best business checks for small businesses depend on how your company issues and records payments. Businesses that print checks through accounting software typically benefit from compatible laser checks, while those that write checks by hand may prefer manual checks with duplicate copies or vouchers. Payroll checks with stubs can simplify employee payment records, and start-up or low payment-volume businesses may benefit from starter kits or compact manual checks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Choosing Business Checks

What are the best business checks for minimizing check fraud?

Businesses with greater exposure to check fraud should consider high-security business checks. In addition to standard check security features, Deluxe high-security checks include added fraud-deterrent features such as anti-copy technology, true watermarks, heat-sensitive ink and foil holograms. These features can help make checks more difficult to copy, alter or counterfeit.

Which business checks are best for low- versus high-volume payments?

Businesses that write only a few checks at a time may find manual business checks sufficient. Businesses that regularly process larger batches of payments generally benefit from laser checks used with accounting software. Continuous checks are primarily suited to businesses that use compatible pin-fed or dot-matrix printers for high-volume disbursements.

What are the best business checks for maintaining accurate records?

For many businesses, a Voucher Business Check can offer the best record-keeping capabilities as they come with detachable stubs. These stubs are useful for keeping detailed information about the transaction. Voucher checks are available as laser and manual check types.

What are the best business checks for payroll?

For businesses that use payroll or accounting software, laser payroll checks with detachable stubs or vouchers are generally the most practical option because they allow employee payments and payroll details to be printed together. Businesses that prepare payroll checks by hand or issue a smaller number of checks may prefer manual payroll checks with stubs.

What business checks are best for paying vendors?

Voucher-style accounts payable checks are useful for businesses that need to document which invoices a payment covers. Detachable vouchers can include invoice numbers, dates, amounts, and other payment details while providing a record for both the business and the payee.

What should I look for when choosing where to order business checks?

When choosing a business check provider, consider whether its checks meet banking-industry standards, whether it offers security features appropriate for your business, and whether its checks are compatible with your accounting or payroll software. Also consider customization options, order-verification procedures, customer support and satisfaction guarantees. Deluxe business checks meet or exceed applicable ANSI X9 check-printing standards and are available in formats compatible with many accounting software systems.

What are the best business envelopes for sending checks?

Deluxe offers envelopes specifically designed for checks, such as our popular 92663 double window envelopes. Measuring 8-5/8” x 3-5/8”, checks fit perfectly in these envelopes so that destination and return addresses remain in view through the double windows.
