For years, check security was the reason why most companies avoided in-house check printing solutions and endured the hassle and expense of outside services. Today, the best check printing systems let you take advantage of tremendous time and money saving features while matching and oftentimes exceeding the security of an outside service. MICR check security is such a high-priority that we authored and published a comprehensive white paper focusing on MICR check fraud, security, and prevention.

Emphasis on the term "best" is intentional. Check fraud continues to be a massive international problem and regardless of how you get your checks printed, you need to be vigilant and use the best possible products and services. MICR check production is not a good place to "cut corners".

The best solutions provide security at both the software and hardware level and utilize blank security check stock (rather than risky pre-printed checks). Take a look at the security benefits available in Quadrant Software's MICR check printing system and compare them with others on the market:

Software Security Using Formtastic Checks

User Authorities - Formtastic Checks allow the administrator to define who can access design as well as print / merge functions. You can also assign authority levels to different stored signatures based on check amount.
Blank Check Protection - Prints 'VOID' if something other than the check amount appears in the check amount location in the spool file.
Audit Logs & Positive Pay - Track all check printing activity including time, user identity, amounts, check numbers, and other detailed information.
Formtastic Checks also produces Positive Pay reports used by banks when negotiating check fraud issues.
Signature Security - Designate who has the ability to print checks using any signature.
Formtastic Checks allow signatures to be stored on removable devices that can be locked away if necessary.
