Yes. Under U.S. commercial law, a “check” is simply a draft payable on demand and drawn on a bank — the law does not require bank-issued check stock¹. Printing a check on an account you own or are authorized to draw on is legal and common (businesses do it every day with accounting software). You may only create checks on an account you own or are authorized to draw on².

Yes for mobile deposit and remote check scanning from your phone — banks process those as images under the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21)¹². Federal law and Federal Reserve rules make image-based substitute checks the legal equivalent of the original³⁴, so phone scanning works under that framework. For in-person teller or ATM deposits, plain paper usually works too; for guaranteed acceptance at every teller and ATM, print onto blank check security paper with magnetic MICR toner.

Yes. You can fill out and print or download your own check for free. Optional paid features — like custom logo branding and emailing a check — are available later.

No. Special paper and MICR toner are industry standards for automated reader/sorter machines — not a legal requirement for an instrument to be a check¹. Plain 8.5"x11" paper works for image-based (mobile and remote) deposits under Check 21². For in-person teller or ATM reliability, we recommend check security paper and MICR magnetic toner.

For printing at home, your check details are used right in your browser to build the PDF. We do not transmit or store your routing or account numbers for the print-at-home flow.
