A bit off topic, but the one thing that is stopping me from using Simple is the lack of paper checks. I know you can send checks directly to recipients, but there are too many instances where I need to write a check and hand it to the recipient directly.
- cylo 14y agoI've complained about the same issue to Simple and they've informed me that they have no plans to ever offer paper checks. I'm getting around this issue by taking out money orders using my Simple card. It's a minor hassle but it works just fine.
- smackfu 14y ago> I know you can send checks directly to recipients, I wonder if these are "real" checks against your account, or just checks against some single account that Simple owns. Because if they are real checks, it would be simple enough to get your own checks printed up with the routing info.
- Terretta 14y agoReal, and yes, you have a real ABA and routing number and can print your own.
- Domenic_S 14y agoJust in case someone was thinking of doing this, Josh from Simple said: if someone produced checks with one of our customer's account numbers, our systems are set up to reject them. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4844641 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4844641
- Terretta 14y agoIf you need to hand a check to someone and know the amount in advance (babysitter, maid), make it out to her name and mail it to yourself. Then hand it to them.
