A few years ago I had my bank account frozen. I had no clue about the reason. Later I found out that it was due to my wife’s missing social security number, which she didn’t have, being a non-resident with a dependent work visa.

We had to give an affidavit of that fact to unlock the account. And it took more than a week to unlock the account. One my credit card auto payment was declined and I was assessed a late fee. I got the fee waived anyway, but that forced me to open other checking accounts.

When I received this guest post, I was wondering, was it going to add any value to my readers? Then I read the post and found out that only 46% of internet users use online banking. There must be a reason half of them don’t use online banking. To me, online banking is a boon I never bank at local branches, I can do everything sitting on my couch using bank’s website or app.

From talking to friends and family via video chat to shopping and everything in between, the Internet is completely eliminating the middlemen, including bank tellers in traditional bank branches around the world.

I don’t use bank checks very often, I’d prefer e-check facility most banks provide today. Where in you can send payment via email ID, phone number or simply by name and address. But there are often times when you need to write a paper check. When I last ordered paper checks it cost me around $40 for 50 leaves. This time, I did my research and obtained 200 leaves for only $12 from Bradford Exchange Checks.

Based on this experience my advice to you would be to go for cheaper online check ordering sites, rather than ordering them directly from your bank. It’s secure, convenient and cheap. While ordering I did my research on the sites that offer check order service. Here I’ll list of 5 tops sites to order checks from.

Pre-considerations 

Different factors need to be considered when you plan on ordering checks online. You would definitely be considering the price, the delivery options, the security. Here are some factors that you can use as a guideline when choosing the company to order check from:

Investment banking is a specific division of banking that relates to creating capital for companies. Many investment banks do not take deposits as commercial banks do. The three main areas of investment banking are sales and trading, asset management and investment banking.

An investment bank will underwrite equity securities and debt for many different types of businesses. Experienced investment bankers will provide guidance and advice to issuers about the placement and issue of stock.
