Features:
CheckMatic software
had all kinds of bells and whistles that you would
want in the 1990s like an area code directory and
Multi Level Marketing "MLM Panel". It also has
import and export, checks and drafts, batch
printing, bank data storage, and quite a few of the
more useful features you would expect from one of
the better products.
Ease of Use
The CheckMatic was
quirky but easy to use. It had crazy background
pictures on the main menu, but I was able to enter
checks and drafts with ease and print them out
without even looking at the manual or talking to the
technical support. I thought it was user friendly,
but the items I tested did not work with the self
scan ATMs and did not work with desktop deposit.
Come on guys, Check 21 has been around for a long
time. I brought my drafts, rejected from my desktop
deposit application and from the ATM over to the
teller, and my bank jacketed them with no fees, and
credited them to my balance without issue. The
items were returned paid and jacketed, then
converted to images when they appeared back in my
statement.
How It Works at the Bank
The checks and drafts that CheckMatic print
are not Check 21 compliant or ANSII compliant. They
don't work with desktop deposit and don't work in
the envelope free ATM machines. Because the
bank manually processes them, many banks will likely
just refuse them entirely.
Installation Ease
I downloaded
the CheckMatic Business Professional Edition with no
ID and within 10 minutes I was printing checks and
drafts. The menus and functions are numerous and
scattered, but easy enough to find. If the
software produced legal items for deposit, it may
get higher rankings.
Help and Support
Their phone
support was available and answered the phone
starting at 10 a.m. on the day I installed the
software.
The Full Picture
CheckMatic is marketed online at
phonechex.com and officepro.com. The software was
written in 2001 and while the websites claim a 2012
copyright, the content has not been updated for over
5 years. When I went to order my copy, the site was
running a special that expired in 2007.
The software itself is outdated and clumsy and the
drafts CheckMatic prints do not work with the
current banking system unless they are manually
processed and jacketed or striped by the bank.
At $169 this software will do nothing but get you
into trouble with your bank eventually and it would
be best to steer clear of CheckMatic.
