Computer Check on Top

Computer checks on top are pre-printed voucher checks with the check at the top of an 8.5 by 11 inch sheet and two perforated stubs below. Your company name, bank name, routing number, account number, and logo are printed before the order ships. When you run a check batch from QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Quicken, or another accounting platform, the software prints the payee name, amount, date, and check number into the check area automatically. Checkomatic has manufactured these from Monroe, NY since 1997 with next day and rush delivery options available for urgent orders.

What Is a Computer Check on Top and What Does It Include?

The check-on-top format is the most commonly used business check layout in the United States. The check prints at the top of the sheet where it is easy to see and sign. Two perforated stubs below the check carry your AP or payroll record detail. You tear the check off at the perforation and send it. One stub goes to the vendor or employee with the check as their payment reference. The other stays in your records for reconciliation.

This format matches the default check-printing template in QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50, Quicken Home and Business, and most other accounting platforms. You do not need to configure a custom template. Load the paper, run the print job, and the fields align correctly out of the box.

Every order includes free black and white logo printing at no extra charge. Full-color logo printing is available for a small additional fee. Orders are available starting from 50 checks, with bulk discounts that scale significantly at higher quantities. The minimum quantity of 50 checks makes this format accessible for new businesses and first-time orderers who want to test the product before committing to a larger batch.

Next Day Checks and Rush Business Check Delivery

If your AP run cannot wait or a payroll cycle needs checks this week, rush production and expedited shipping are both available at Checkomatic. Select your rush production tier at checkout, then choose your shipping speed. Standard production runs 5 to 7 business days from Monroe, NY. Rush production compresses that timeline significantly, and combined with overnight or next day shipping, orders can arrive the following business day.

Customers who have used Checkomatic for urgent orders consistently note the fast turnaround as the standout experience. When you need to order business checks online with fast delivery, the combination of rush production and expedited shipping options is what makes it possible rather than just a marketing claim.

Software Compatibility and Check Format Options

This check-on-top format is compatible with all major accounting software. If you run QuickBooks for your AP, this is the format that matches the QuickBooks default template without adjustment. If you use Xero, Sage, or Quicken, the same alignment applies. For a full list of compatible platforms, see our accounting software compatible checks catalog, which covers over 500 programs.

If your software uses a different template layout, we carry three other pre-printed computer check formats. For the check centered on the page with stubs above and below, see our computer check in middle. For the check at the bottom with stubs above, see our computer checks on bottom. For three checks per sheet with no stubs, see our computer checks 3-on-a-page.

Security Features Included on Every Business Check

Both the regular and high-security versions include fraud protection built into the check paper itself:

Microprinting along the signature line that blurs on any photocopy
Heat-sensitive ink that disappears when the check surface is warmed
Chemical-reactive paper that stains when exposed to bleach or solvent
Void pantograph that reveals VOID on any copy of the check
True watermark visible from both sides when held to light

High security adds DocuGuard protection for businesses processing high-value checks or in elevated-fraud environments. All features exceed ABA specifications. Every check is accepted at Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, Citibank, TD Bank, and all major US banks.
