Styles Of checks

The style of check needed depends mainly on the purpose; are you giving a birthday present, paying off an invoice, or, are you completing your weekly payroll.  Once this is determined, the check styles are as follows:

  1. Personal checks – Handwritten and ideal for presents, rent or other common items.
  2. Manual checks – Used by smaller businesses with less usage, to pay off monthly expenses, payroll and invoices
  3. Business checks – Used by small to medium sized business, with more usage, to pay off expenses, payroll, invoices and any other items requiring fast, secure and timely payment.
