What CheckBuilderPro is

CheckBuilderPro is desktop software for creating and printing personal and business checks and deposit slips. It runs on macOS and Windows and is intended for home and office use with U.S. banks. Checks can be printed blank or completed, with customizable logos, signatures and fonts, plus a MICR line. The software keeps a record of completed checks, tracks other debits and credits, supports bank reconciliation and produces customizable reports in four styles.

CheckBuilderPro is standalone, with file-based data exchange: it imports QIF and exports check data as QIF, CSV or tab-delimited files. It does not directly interface with QuickBooks, Quicken, Xero or other programs, though it can create blank checks for use with them. The separately sold BatchBuilder add-on uses payee details in CSV or tab-delimited spreadsheets for batch printing. CheckBuilderPro costs 59.95 USD as a one-time purchase; BatchBuilder costs 19.95 USD, or the bundle costs 69.95 USD. A free trial is available. The demo prints a VOID watermark and limits the register to 100 entries; the BatchBuilder demo allows 12 checks. Use requires a printer and bank-compatible check paper.

Who it suits

CheckBuilderPro suits home or office users who need to print checks for U.S. banks on a Mac or Windows computer and keep check records. It may also suit users who need batch printing from spreadsheet payee data, using the BatchBuilder add-on.
