excited to learn about checks

by Kasey Steinbrinck

Feeling a little jealous of all those college kids going back to school to continue their education?

No worries! There’s plenty to learn right here at Check Advantage.

Whether you’re one of those people who just loves to learn, or you actually have some legitimate questions about personal checks, business checks, or even check fraud and preventing identity theft – we’ve got a resource that’s stuffed with good information for you.

It’s kind of like going to college – just without all the Ramen noodles, dirty laundry and dudes playing Frisbee on the lawn.

What is there to learn about checks? You might be surprised!

Here’s what you’ll find when you visit our Check Education section…

As the designated guidance counselor for Check Advantage University, let me advise you on our current course selection.

Personal Check Education

It’s easy to write checks off as being a basic easy to use payment option. But there is actually a complex system built around the use of personal checks. Financial institutions and companies like Check Advantage try to make things as simple as possible – but sometimes you need specific answers.

There are a dozen articles in our Personal Check Education category and the list will continue to grow. For some Personal Checks 101 there are a few articles that answer frequently asked questions about personal checks including Identifying Your Routing and Account Numbers. But you’ll also find more in-depth answers like Why Postdating Personal Checks Won’t Work.

Business Check Education

Business checks may seem basic as well, but there are quite a few questions surrounding picking the best kind of checks for your business. We’ll also address issues like how you can use checks if you have your own “one-man-show.” Read Business Checks and Sole Proprietorships What Will You Bank Accept? to learn more.

You’ll also find helpful information to guide you through choosing between Quicken and QuickBooks accounting software, laser checks and manual checks, even things you’ll need to start your own small business.

Identity Theft and Fraud Education

identity theft is bad

Identity theft and check fraud are serious crimes and serious problems. You’ll discover how to protect your personal finances and business finances by absorbing the content in this valuable resource.

Find out how to spot identity theft early on when you read the article Identity Theft Clues: Warning Signs of Trouble.

There are also tips for staying safe when shopping online.

Read about the different types of scams involving checks and the check security features you’ll find on business checks and personal checks offered at Check Advantage.

We can’t stop identity theft from happening – but we can help you prepare for how to react if it does happen to you.

More About Checks

Finally – we’ve got a grab bag of valuable knowledge to throw at you in our last category. These are the classes you take just because they sound interesting – like Film History or Pottery Making – except you may actually use this information somewhere besides a game of Trivial Pursuit.

Some of the newest articles in this section include What is the Fraction Code Found on Checks? as well as How to Review Your Monthly Bank Statement.

Now you know where to turn when you are confused about everything from writing and endorsing personal checks to using your business checks as a branding tool.

If you have an idea for a topic you’d like covered, or a question  you’d like answered in our Check Education section, just leave a comment and let us know!

We want to make sure you graduate from Check Advantage University with high honors!
