Step 5: Customize Check Settings

Customize your check settings by providing the following information:

  • Bank Information (Required): Routing Number and Account Number
  • Signature of the Signing Officer (Required)
  • Company Logo on Bank Check (Optional)
  • Custom Message on Check Stub (Optional)
  • Signing Officer Approval for Enhanced Security (Optional)
  • Void Check Image (Optional)

Bank Account Details

Edit the MICR line to link the correct bank account from your QuickBooks Online. Input your routing number and account number. Note that providing this information does not give Checkflo access to your bank account; it’s solely used for creating bank-compliant, professional checks.

Enter Bank Information

Add your bank’s details as they should appear on the check, including the account holder’s name, bank name, and address.

Add Signature

Upload an electronic signature for the check’s signing officer. This step includes instructions on how to upload a clear and acceptable signature.

Company Logo (optional)

Optionally, upload your company logo for printing on the check.

Custom Message on Check Stub

Write a fixed message to be printed on each check stub. Checkflo also enables the integration of dynamic data fields from QuickBooks, such as item and category fields. For advanced customizations, Checkflo offers additional support.

Additional Signing Officers

You can add designated signing officers for approving payments remotely and set up custom workflows according to your business needs.

Void Check (optional)

Uploading a void check can accelerate your account verification and approval process. It also helps in replicating your current bank check design, ensuring consistency.

Step 6: Review and Activate Account

Confirm the information on the dummy check displayed is correct before activating your account. Once activated, Checkflo will review your information and notify you via email when your account is approved.
