From 19 October 2022, there'll be a $1.50 fee for sending a check.
Why do checks cost $1.50?
The fee covers printing, postage and handling. There's also an additional layer of security when sending checks with Bill Pay - your bank details are never on the check, helping protect you from fraud and check forgery.
New features to make this change smoother
- Combine payments to the same vendor. This means one check can cover several bills from the same vendor. Plus, you save on check fees.
- Cover your clients’ check fees. You can cover your clients’ check fees by using a separate payment method.
