Paper Checks for Square Checking

Paper Checks for Square Checking

It would be very nice If Square Checking allow us to write our own paper checks.

@spoonsticks I completely agree! I don't use square checking but 100% agree with this! I think many people no longer use checks for their day to day lives, but as a business we use checks for a few different things. Specifically monthly for rent. 

I understand Square not providing check printing services, but I'm baffled why I can't use the routing & account numbers to order checks from a 3rd party.

I am actually about to close my Square Checking account and open up a business checking account with some local bank that will probably be antiquated and hard to use, just because Square "Checking" turns out to not actually offer any checks. That's not a vague threat, I'm literally going to do this tomorrow. Y'all are literally losing a banking customer and I can't believe I could be the only one.  I would never have opened this "checking" account if I knew that I could not write checks.  I run a small shop in a rural area and some of my vendors are not going to be able to figure out how to deposit a "digital check," whatever that even is. 

I have one artist who is 82 years old.  So even though I have a Business "checking" account, I have to write him a check from my personal checking account, which makes it very hard to keep track of what's coming in and what's going out for my business.  My vendors can't figure out how to do mobile banking - I can't have a business checking account without checks.

What makes it even worse is that I SWEAR to you, just last week I read somewhere on the Square website that I could print out a paper check and give it to someone, and I resolved to sit down and figure it out this week, and now I'm back in my shop for the week and I'm being told that there's no such thing.
