Ask HN: Would you use a check printing service via an API?
Assume these checks would be printed with all security features enabled: colored background, coin rub watermark, microprint border, thermo-chromic ink images, magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) technology, and Positive Pay protocol to combat check fraud.
- Jeremy1026 13y agoIf I were paying out affiliates or similar I could see where this could be useful. However, it'd have to be very simply and easy compared to printing a batch of checks with quickbooks or similar.

- jannotti 13y agoYes. We did not find a good one when we looked, so we mail a lot of checks manually for now.
- rdegges 13y agoI'd love to use something like this. I run several API companies, all of which have some form of affiliate program. Would be really convenient to have a simple API to send affiliate checks every month, instead of handling it manually. I did a bit of research into this a while back, and there was another option from WellsFargo (I think?), but it was really complicated and required lots of talking with salespeople and the like :(
- ronanq 13y agoYes, I can think of a lot of uses if it was integrated with the accounting application I work for :)
- petervandijck 13y agoYes absolutely. Would it mail them out too?
