How to Use the Voided Check Creator
Generate a voided check in under a minute:
Enter your information. Fill in your name (as it appears on your bank account), your bank name, the 9-digit routing number, and your account number.
Preview the check. The tool generates a realistic check layout with MICR-style formatting at the bottom (routing number, account number, check number) and a prominent VOID watermark across the face.
Download or print. Save the generated check image or print it directly. The output is formatted for standard paper sizes and optimized for print quality.
When Do You Need a Voided Check?
Common situations requiring a voided check:
Direct deposit setup: Most employers require a voided check to set up payroll direct deposit. It verifies your routing and account numbers.
Automatic payments: Setting up automatic mortgage, loan, or utility payments often requires a voided check as verification.
Bank-to-bank transfers: Some banks require a voided check to link external accounts for transfers.
Verification purposes: Landlords, contractors, and financial planners may request a voided check to confirm your banking information without you sharing login credentials.
Security Tips
Protect your financial information:
- Verify your routing number — Your 9-digit routing number is public information (it identifies the bank), but make sure you're using the correct one for your account type (checking vs. savings).
- Double-check account numbers — Errors in account numbers can redirect your deposits or payments to the wrong account.
- Only share with trusted parties — A voided check contains your banking information. Only provide it to verified employers, financial institutions, and trusted organizations.
- Use this tool on a secure device — All processing happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Still, avoid using public or shared computers.
