I remember the “olden days” when almost every woman had a checkbook in her purse and many guys carried them around in their back pockets. While paper checks can still come in handy (my mom uses them all the time!) there is now a new way to pay – Deluxe eChecks powered by VerifyValidTM.
The Deluxe Corporation may already be familiar to you as they have been providing personal checks for almost 100 years. This industry leader is now introducing this new payment innovation. Deluxe eChecks feature cutting-edge technology and are the only online payment solution that can work for everyone. With eChecks you can quickly and easily pay from anywhere at any time – and it’s all very secure!
I recently received a Deluxe eCheck to test out how it works. It is so easy that this paragraph is going to be crazy short. I received an email with a link to my check. I clicked on the link and entered the 8 digit code from my email to get to a page with my check. I printed it out.
THAT’S IT!! This is what my check looked like:
One thing I like about this service is that payees aren’t required to enroll to receive a Deluxe eCheck, so you can send electronic check payments to anyone. There is no other online payment solution offers that convenience.
To cash the check I could have just driven to the bank and deposited it like any other paper check. But, I usually deposit my checks via a smartphone app, so that’s what I did with this check as well. I was a little concerned about whether I would have any issues on my bank’s end – but it was as easy as pie. Within a few minutes I had an email confirmation that my deposit had been successful.
Right now you can even take advantage of a special offer to try 5 FREE Deluxe eChecks with no strings attached. To send checks, you will need to sign up and connect a checking account you’ll want to use for sending your payments.

It is amazing how easy technology has made our banking in the last few years! This is an amazing idea!
Utokia Langley says
WOW this is great, I will have to look into this … everything is online!
Emily says
Wow, this is really cool. I get paid via check for some survey sites and so my checks are pretty low in value – like $10 or $25 etc. I often get them and set them aside thinking i’ll remember to bring them in to deposit the next time I head to the bank – thinking it’s not worth making a special trip but then I completely forget about them.
Shannon Gosney says
Deluxe eChecks? Wow – those sound pretty cool!
Terri says
I never knew there was even such a thing, wow.
Ashley Morton says
I had no idea this service was available. I like that you dont have to enroll – I hate automatic enrollments.
Melissa says
Okay, this is super cool and simple! I love seeing the way of the future!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I was at the grocery store the other day and someone MY age whipped out her checkbook to write a check. I was shocked. I haven’t written an actual check in years LOL. This sounds like a much better option.
Ellen Christian says
That is very cool. I love how easy the technology makes it!
susan says
This seems like a great service, and it would save me so much time not having to go to the bank.
paula schuck says
Well I am constantly amazed at the innovative ways people are doing banking now. These services are really revolutionizing finance and payments and business. I will take a look at this. I have never ever deposited a cheque that way with an app. I am stunned at how simple you made that look. I am skeptical a bit. Part of me thinks my bank would have trouble figuring that out. Maybe I will attempt it soon to see what happens. Thanks for an informative post.
teresa mccluskey says
I think this is neat. I need a bank that does that! So checking this out!
brett says
that’s pretty awesome. technology does some amazing things !
Jennifer says
What a great service! This would definitely come in handy to receive payments like this instead of using Paypal where fees get taken out.
Tracey Tabone says
What a great, no fuss service! Technology these days is insane!
Dawn Lopez says
Oh how cool is this? I hate paying by check since generally a huge percentage of what I do is managed digitally. Looks like this service could totally help me wrap up the rest of my check writing loose ends! Love that!
Mitch says
Great info. I am not ready to go that route with checks yet, I just mustered up the gumption to pay some bills via the computer!
Thanks for this info for down the road though!

Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? says
Wow! What a great idea. I hate having to write checks for some things, so I try to do all of my bills through online bill paying.
Isabella Grey says
Well that is seriously cool. I might just have to look into getting this!
Hanan says
Well that totally takes the hassle out of waiting for a check to come. I like that you could still mobile deposit it too!
Marybeth Hamilton says
First, I really love your photo of you taking a picture of something else. Second, this is a pretty great idea! It seems like an easy way to transition from a traditional check-writing lifestyle into a more digital banking world.
Rachael says
Wow, that’s really cool. I just use a debit card for everything. Don’t even have a bank account.
Liz Mays says
I actually do order my checks from that company, but I’ve only done the paper check method. Of course, I hardly have to use them anymore because of the rise of the debit card. But this is really cool!
Pauline Cabrera says
This is really a nice stuff. Though this might be an amazing development, it’s better to ask your bank about it first. New technology means new ways we might be compromising our security.
Rosey says
That’s amazingly easy. Things have come a long way as far as technology is concerned, that’s for sure!
Christie says
Technology has come a long way. I do wonder about security!
Tiffany (Fabulous Mom Blog) says
I’ve deposited checks using a phone app before and it saves so much time! This is really neat. Technology is taking us so far!
Amanda says
This looks pretty neat! Quick and easy!
Christina S says
This sounds neat, but I’m not sure how/if I would actually use it.
Debra says
I’m not that old, but I’m still one of those people who keeps a few blank checks in her wallet, just in case! We really are moving towards a paperless world – but with checks & banking, I think it totally works. My only concern is security…another way for people to steal identities.
Zoe B says
WOW – I love the idea of e-checks! Cheque books seem so old fashioned in this digital world.
Cassie @ Southeast by Midwest says
That is soooo cool. I’d love to be able to do that with our bank!
Stefani says
This sounds like a handy service. I still have the old fashioned checks but don’t write them very often.
