Ditch the Delay: Why B2B Firms Should Skip Ordering Checks and Start Printing Online

If you’re still ordering checks for your business, you’re doing it the hard way. In the world of B2B payments—where every hour can cost a client, a supplier, or a contract—waiting around for pre-printed checkbooks to arrive is like sending a fax in the age of Zoom. There’s a faster, smarter way that doesn’t involve stockpiling checks in your drawer or worrying about them being lost in transit: online check printing.

Let’s break it down.

The Problem with Ordering Checks

1. Long Waits. Ordering checks from your bank or a third-party printer takes time. You place the order, wait for processing, printing, shipping… and then finally receive them days or even weeks later. That’s dead time for your business.

2. Lack of Flexibility. You’re stuck with whatever layout and quantity you ordered. Need to update your business address? Too bad—you’re out $60 for the last batch. You can’t pause operations to wait for new designs. And let’s not forget, you’re paying per check and often extra for rush delivery.

3. Zero Customization. Sure, you can maybe add your logo—if you’re lucky. But what about custom fonts, payment memos, detachable stubs, or watermark security? Not happening. Your checks look like everyone else’s. That’s not great for branding or fraud protection.

4. Security Risks. Pre-printed checks come with your account and routing numbers fully exposed—ripe for fraud if they get into the wrong hands. In a world where business identity theft is a real threat, this is a big deal.

Enter Online Check Printing

With platforms like Zil Money, B2B businesses can skip the waiting game and print secure, professional checks from anywhere—on demand.

Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

1. Instant Printing, No Waiting

You’re not waiting for checks to arrive. You just log in, design your check, and print it on blank stock paper with a regular office printer. Need a batch of 100? Done in minutes. Need to reissue a check with updated details? A few clicks.

2. Full Control Over Customization

Zil Money lets you drag, drop, and design checks with:

• Your company’s logo
• Custom fonts and payment notes
• Digital signatures
• Added watermarks or MICR encoding

It’s the kind of polish and control that traditional check orders just don’t offer. You can even change the layout for different vendors or departments.

3. Cost-Saving with Blank Check Paper

Ordering pre-printed checks costs a fortune—especially when you factor in design changes, reorders, and rush delivery.

Online check printing flips that model. You only need blank check paper (much cheaper and reusable) and a standard printer. That alone can cut costs by up to 80%.

4. Better Security

Security’s a big one in B2B. Every check you order through traditional methods exposes sensitive information. But when you print checks online:

• You store check data securely in the cloud
• You generate checks only when needed
• You can track check history, flag suspicious activity, and revoke check numbers if needed

With additional layers like password-protected access and encrypted connections, it’s a much safer way to operate.

5. Integration with Your Existing Systems

Another huge win? You don’t need to re-enter vendor or bill data.

Zil Money integrates with popular accounting tools. Import bills, create checks, and pay—all from one dashboard. You also get real-time tracking of what’s paid, what’s pending, and what’s due.

This isn’t just convenient. For businesses juggling multiple vendors and invoices, it reduces human error and keeps your books clean.

6. Bulk Check Printing and Mailing

Need to send out 50 vendor payments at the end of the week? Don’t spend your Friday stuffing envelopes. Zil Money’s check mailing service handles it for you—for as low as $1.25 per check, including postage.

Choose USPS or FedEx, set delivery speed, and track every piece. That’s not just about saving time—it’s about keeping supplier relationships strong with prompt payments.

7. Multiple Payment Options

Sometimes you don’t even need to print.

• Send eChecks as PDFs directly to your vendor’s inbox.

• Pay by ACH or wire transfer.

• Use your credit card even if your vendor doesn’t accept it—Zil Money processes the card and pays your vendor via check or ACH.

That flexibility is gold when cash flow is tight or when you want to rack up rewards without hurting vendor relationships.
