What exactly does this mean? Suppose you need to order checks for your personal checking account. A lot of people go to their bank and pick some checks out of a catalog and order them there. Then the bank either goes online or mails a form to a check printer with whom they have contracted. The bnak orders the checks for you and take a cut of the price, which is usually a health markup.
You can cut out the middle man – in this case the bank – and order your own checks. You can do this safely online. There are only six major check printer/manufacturers in the United States and they are all regulated by the appropriate banking legislation and associations.
The net result is that you can save about half off of pricing found at most banks. Another advantage is that you have many more choices of check style, or design, from which to choose.
