Check Personalization

When completing personalization for your checks, it is best to have a sample check in front of you for reference. There are 2 areas to complete: Personal/Company Information which appears in the upper left of your check and Bank Information which encompasses a number of areas. Each is explained below.

Personal Information

hrline

  • On Personal checks, you may print up to 5 lines of personal information. You are required to complete First/Last Name 1, Address 1, City, State and Zip Code in this section.
  • On Business checks, you may print up to 6 lines of personal information. You are required to complete Company Name/Name, Address 1, City, State and Zip Code in this section.
  • For information such as your phone number or email address, the "Other" line is typically used.

Bank and Account Information

hrline

Account Open Date

   This should be entered in the format mm/yy and must be a date in the past. The account open date is required in the state of Illinois and by some banks. If it is included in your current checks, it is best to include it when placing your order. The account open date is printed to the right of the first name printed as personalization on your checks.

Routing Number

   Your routing number is always 9 digits and must begin with a 0, 1, 2 or 3. It is the first number in the MICR area at the bottom of your check. See the MICR line diagram below.

Account Number

   Your account number is all numeric, but could be anywhere from 6 to 19 digits. Enter this number without any special characters or spaces. This number appears at the bottom of your check in the MICR area, either before or after the check number. See the MICR line diagram below.

Starting Check Number

   Your starting check number can be up to 5 digits and must be greater than 100. The check number appears in both the upper right corner of your check and the MICR area. See the MICR line diagram below.

Bank Name / Address

   Your bank's name must be printed on your checks. Refer to your existing checks to determine whether or not to include the bank address.
