Checks in America Today
There has been a lot of talk over the last few years about checks going away. Indeed, we have seen a significant drop in the volume of checks processed in the US. However, what most people don’t understand is that the lion’s share of this volume decrease was from the consumer sector, easily the largest segment of annual check volume as a whole.
New technologies and old technologies have served to provide more payment vehicles for the average American, such as online bill pay, debit cards, credit cards, mobile payments, pre-paid cards, etc. Many people think that Check 21 (The Check Printing for the 21st Century Act, signed into law in 2004) was responsible for the drop in check volume. Actually, Check 21 had nothing to do with the decrease. Simply put, Check 21 made the inter-bank process more streamlined by eliminating the need to transport paper checks across the country for clearing. It also reduced check float, which was not well received in some sectors.
On the opposite side of the fence, the B2B and B2C space still generate a large annual volume of checks in the US annually. And, in fact, some 20 billion checks are still cleared annually in the US. Why is this? A few of the answers are:
Another important decision factor is right-sizing your payments platform. Are your volumes increasing or decreasing? Would a distributed print solution be more beneficial to your business strategy, or will a centralized operation fit better with your operational needs. Ricoh and Rosetta Technologies can help you analyze your process and develop a solution that fits… not the other way around.
What are the Key Components in Successful, Reliable Check Printing?
Organizations today are sensitive to many issues when it comes to payments. Secure printing of checks is a key factor in controlling fraud, both internal and external. A robust MICR printing solution should have:
So, the advice from the experts is to avoid trying to save money by buying a standard laser printer and 3rd party MICR toner cartridge, as the results might not be what you expected, nor will the savings be justified should issues with MICR quality arise. Go with a known provider of MICR printing systems, one that provides a MICR Guarantee to protect you from bank charges stemming from poor quality MICR. Rosetta Technologies stand by our commitment to our products and to your success.
