Your Guide to Choosing the Best Check Printing Software

In the fast-paced world of business, efficiency is key. One area where efficiency can make a significant impact is in the realm of check printing and check printing software. As businesses evolve, so do their needs, and having the right check printing software can streamline financial processes, enhance security, and save valuable time. 

In this guide, we'll explore the essentials of choosing the best check printing software for your business, with a focus on solutions like TROY’s AssurePay options for medium to large enterprises and banks, and TROY FlexPay for small businesses. But first, what is check printing software and what does it do?

What is check printing software?

Check printing software sounds exactly like what it is: it's software used to digitally write and print checks. Check printing software makes paying vendors & customers easy, especially when you have a large batch of checks to send. The best check printing software typically allows you to upload check batch files with basic information provided at the headers, and the software will handle the rest.

Check writing and printing software is widely used in bank and financial services industries for departments that need to print checks for accounts payable, teller transactions, or for a small business to pay their vendors. The software allows users to print checks using MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) efficiently using either blank check paper or pre-printed check stock. 

The best check printing software should have all the features you need to print checks securely, giving you options to scale up your volume and streamline your process for ultimate efficiency. 

Check printing software has been used for years, but many of the tried and true platforms like Secure 32 and AvidXChange Create-A-Check are discontinued, leaving financial and banking professionals with a decision on their hands. What new check printing software should they get for their department or business?

What features should you look in check printing software?

When choosing a new check printing software, you should consider the features you need and become accustomed to continue doing your job well. But, you should consider factors you may not have had before that will make your life even easier. 

• Cloud functionality: Using the cloud may sound scary, but it will save you time and money in the long run. Instead of spending money on managing and maintaining on premise systems, using a cloud-based check printing software will automatically update to the latest technology and servers. You'll save money and time by not investing in extra equipment & teams just to pay your vendors.
  
  

• Security: Security is a top priority in check printing software. Features that allow users to restrict users from certain bank accounts, along with multi-factor authentication and single sign-on secure your finances & data better than any outdated on-premise software can. On top of that, look for solutions that will allow you print to blank check stock so you can stop using costly pre-printed check stock that leaves your account information vulnerable.
  
  
  
• Compliance and regulation: Robust reporting and audit tracking are key components for any financial transaction. The best check printing software will provide a system of checks and balances so you can stay above compliance. When researching your new check printing software, make sure it includes a dedicated reporting dashboard that allows you to export data to excel.
  
  
  
• Scalability: If you have multiple locations of your business or have the option to work remotely, you need to be able to print checks across your entire business, not just one place. This is the beauty of cloud-based software -- it will increase your productivity in check printing volume and allow you to work faster.
  
  
  
• Customization Options: Every business has unique needs. The ability to customize check layouts and designs is crucial. Choose software that allows you to incorporate your company logo, adjust font styles, and tailor the appearance of your checks to align with your brand.
  
  
  
• Integration Capabilities: Seamless integration with your existing accounting and financial systems is essential for a smooth workflow. Opt for check printing software that integrates with your ERP system, reducing the likelihood of errors and minimizing manual data entry.
  
  
  
• User-Friendly Interface: A user-friendly interface is critical for businesses of all sizes. Look for software that offers intuitive navigation, customizable options that apply to your business, straightforward setup processes, and responsive customer support.
  

• Set up & Support: Moving from one system to another is a long process that no only can take a long time to implement but will require training for your team. You'll need a responsive implementation and support team
