A bank returned or rejected a check

Rejections nearly always trace back to the MICR band or the stock.

• Confirm MICR toner or MICR ink was installed for that run.
• Confirm the run printed at actual size.
• Compare the band against a real check from the same account, character by character.
• Confirm the stock size is one the bank accepts, especially for a personal check printed on business size stock.
• Confirm nothing was printed inside the bottom band.
• Ask your bank for a specification sheet if a check is ever rejected.
