Check
Personalization:
When completing personalization for
personal checks, it is best to have
a sample check in front of you for reference.
There are 2 areas to complete: Personal
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:
- You may print up to 5 lines of
personal information on your checks.
You are required to complete First
Name 1, Last Name 1, Address 1,
City, State and Zip Code in this
section.
- There are 6 lines provided for
check personalization, however
only 5 lines will fit on the checks.
Please complete only 5 of the lines
provided.
- If entering two names, select
the button next to the name which
is on the payer’s credit
card.
- Prefixes and middle names or
initials may be included in the
First Name field.
(ex: Dr. James A.)
- Suffixes may be included in the
Last Name field.
(ex: Williams, Jr.)
- For information such as phone
number or driver's license number,
the "Other" line is typically used.
Here are some samples of typical check
