Relyco Can Help.

For banks and other financial institutions, the Check 21 Act involves some fairly complicated changes to their software, hardware, and the systems that they use to process checks.  From the perspective of the average business, however, the ramifications of Check 21 are much clearer and simpler.  The long and short of it is that banks will now be scanning checks so that they can reduce or eliminate float time by transferring funds electronically.  What this means to you is that your check stock will now have to be “scannable”, or to use industry terminology, your checks must be “Image Friendly".

While Relyco Stock Laser Checks and Pressure Seal products are already Image Friendly, your custom check stock may not be.  Because banks have some latitude as to how they will handle the image Friendly issue, this could result in your checks being rejected now that the Check 21 Act has taken effect.  To help you avoid this problem and make sure your check stock is compliant, Relyco is offering a Free Check Stock Analysis to our valued customers.  Just contact your sales representative, call our toll-free sales hotline at (800) 777-7359, or fill out the Free Check Test Web Form and we’ll be happy to help you.  You can also click here to see FAQs about IRDs and the Check 21 Act.
