What Checkrun is

Checkrun is a cloud payment platform for businesses and accounting firms to manage bills from approval through payment. Vendors can be paid by paper check or ACH bank transfer, with remittance advice for electronic payments. Payment data syncs with QuickBooks Online in both directions in real time, and payment activity and check images can be attached to QuickBooks payments for reference. Teams can set approval workflows, roles, and permissions; mobile users can approve payments and sign checks. Checks can be printed on existing, preprinted, or blank stock, or sent through Print and Mail. Checkrun generates Positive Pay files for more than 200 bank formats and lets users customize checks with logos, watermarks, and a QR code for authenticity checks. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The Business subscription is $50 a month, billed monthly, with a $199 one-time implementation fee. Local check printing and ACH file export cost $0.35 per payment; Print and Mail costs $1.95 per check. A 15-day trial excludes full-layout checks and Print and Mail.
