Before you start printing checks, you need to do a few things to complete a CHAX transaction.

  • Add your company information (Payee)
  • Select a printer
  • Change your check format


Add Your Company Information (Payee)


This is where you can select which payee to use while creating a check, and add the necessary information for this specific payee to be able to use the ACH feature of CHAX. If you would like to use a payee other than the default payee, then select the payee and click on exit. You will now override the default payee for one check only or you can enter Payees that will be available in the future. This might be used if you are creating checks to be paid for services rendered by your subsidiary.

  3. Double click on the Payee Name you wish to edit, or select Add New
