[GNC] Creating a paper check for an account

[Kalpesh Patel]

Few moons ago I recall Schwab Bank provided free checks for asking ... might be still the case. It is worth inquiring...

Subject: [GNC] Creating a paper check for an account

I am ready to create a paper check for my wife's account with Schwab Bank on standard, single-check paper from Office Depot. The Schwab bank representative I talked to said they do not allow checks to be used except from their sources.

As far as I know, in the US, at least at one time, a check can be written on almost anything legible.

Has anyone had a problem with a bank honoring a check created with GnuCash?

I do intend to ensure its validity by presenting a small check to be cashed at our local bank before using it to send through the mail for other recipients.

Thanks.
