How can I obtain a voided checks if I don't use checks?

Question

How do I obtain a voided check if I don't use checks? Can I go to the bank, as for starter checks and then write in my name on the left corner and put VOID across it??

Answer 1

You can only get starter checks if the checking account is brand new. Perhaps a letter from your bank of their letterhead verifying your account information would do in lieu of checks?

Answer 2

You can go to your bank and tell them you need a void check...or just tell them you need a check. They usually will give you one for free or a small fee like a dollar or something. Yes, You can write void across the check. While your there you should ask to order some checks of your own. One day you might need them and they will be handy! Take care!

Answer 3

Normally if you have a checking account, the bank would have provided you with starter checkes. You might somehow ask the bank for their advice you don't have them, tell them why you need the check. I doubt they're just going to give you checks to void out unless you buy them.

Answer 4

If you need a voided check for the purpose of direct deposit, you can just go to your bank branch, or call them, and ask for your "direct deposit information", which is just as good as a voided check. The reason they ask for a voided check is because all the information needed for direct deposit (acct #, institution #, etc) is printed along the bottom of one's checks.

Answer 5

what are you trying to accomplish?
if you don't "use checks" meaning you don't have a checking account, then no-you can't get a voided check.

if you need the routing/ABA number for your savings account
to set up an automatic debit to pay for something then you can get a letter from your bank with this informaiton.
PS
Some types of checking account/passbook accounts don't allow direct debit transactions though. you may have to open a minimum balance/activity checking account just for this.

Answer 6

I think Bob Sampson in customer service. See him by the window? Ask him. If someone has an account number and routing number from a voided check, the can set-up a fake company so that payments can be taken from this account.

Answer 7

You would have to order checks from your bank and then write void all over it.

Answer 8

If you go to the bank, they should be able to encode temporary checks for you, use these as a void check.

Answer 9

If you start up a checking account you will normally get a free starter checkbook with it. If you don't have a checking account there really is no other way to do it.

Answer 10

most places wont accept a starter check. You have to wait until you get your checks in the mail
