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's no need for them to have a Deluxe eCheck login or account. You just send it to them. There is no other online payment solution offers that convenience.
To cash the check I received to do this Deluxe eCheck review 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.

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.

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.
