General
Q. Who is selling the checks on this website?
A. The checks offered on this website are sold to you by your
financial institution. Deluxe is your financial institution's
preferred wholesale check supplier. Your bank hires us to manufacture
the checks, as well as process, handle, and deliver the retail
orders.
Q. What are the benefits of ordering checks from my
financial institution's preferred check supplier?
A. The advantages of ordering checks directly through your
financial institution include:
- Security of ordering checks from your financial institutions
endorsed check printer
- A guarantee that your checks will be printed accurately
- Tamper-resistant checks that contain important security
features to help fight against check fraud, protecting your checks
from alteration and counterfeiting
- Safe, secure check ordering
- Multiple design choices
- 100% satisfaction guarantee
Q. What kinds of fees, charges, and taxes are there?
- A. The price of your checks is ultimately set by your
financial institution, considering various factors and costs,
including but not limited to applicable program status, applicable
waives or discounts, and the amounts your financial institution pays
Deluxe for the checks, standard shipping, handling, tax, and other
fees.
- A. You are also offered various levels of Expedited Delivery
and Processing Fees, for which you are charged additional
discretionary amounts for delivering, handling, and processing your
order with faster delivery times. The retail prices your financial
institution sets for checks, Standard Delivery, as well as the
various Expedited Delivery and Processing Fees, allows your
financial institution to offer its customers an integrated check
ordering experience and, when considered along with other revenues,
may earn a profit.
- A. The various taxes applicable to your order-such as city,
state, and local taxes-are typically included in the price of your
checks. In some instances, however, taxes may be listed as a
separate charge. The actual amount of taxes applicable to each order
varies.
Q. What happens to my payment?
A. When you place an order for checks, a third-party entity
authorized to act as an ACH Originator makes a deduction from your
account for the total amount, including any additional fees for
expedited delivery, processing, and services. This will appear on
your bank account as an "ACH" fee.
The ACH Originator then remits to Deluxe the amount that the
financial institution owes to Deluxe for the checks, various fees,
and tax, per Deluxe's contract with that financial institution.
Deluxe then remits the appropriate tax amount to the appropriate
authorities. The remainder of the amount is remitted to your
financial institution.
Q. How many checks are in a box?
A. Most personal check designs have 80 checks per box.
Mini-Paks have 1 pad of 25 checks per box. Please note that some
financial institutions specific design can have different quantities.
Q. What check number will print on my checks?
A. Our system calculates the next logical starting number based
on your previous order. You can change it if you would like, based on
numbering allowed by your financial institution.
Q. I'm getting an error message, how do I get help?
A. If possible, please follow the directions in the error message. If
that does not help, please call 866-838-5301 or use the contact
us page
Q. I think I am missing a book/pad of checks, what
do I do?
A. Some reorder forms list the next starting number, not the
number for the check in the book/pad. This makes it appear that you
are missing a book/pad of checks. Look at the actual check underneath
the reorder form for the check number in the book/pad.
Q. Where can I find more information on how to use
my checks and balance my checking account?
A. Learn more about managing and using your checking account at About
Checks. Read or download the pdf file Learning About Checking
Accounts.

A. To protect yourself from identity theft, Deluxe recommends
not including your Social Security number, driver's license number,
or other unnecessary personal information on your checks. Merchants
should request and verify your identifying information.
Q. Are there any ordering restrictions?
A. Possibly. Depending upon the type of account you have with

of products (address labels and/or accessories), order certain check
designs, or make alterations to the accent features (symbols,
background symbols, messages) of your check.

financial industry. If your financial institution information
changes, we update our system automatically to ensure your checks are

price.
Q. Will my order be automatically processed?
A. Yes, however orders are sent through a fraud screening
