Q: Are there any differences between Automated Systems checks and checks from other vendors?
A: The main difference between our checks and checks from other vendors is the specialty check designs. We are not going to be able to afford to produce checks with trademarked names and images. This is one of the reasons our checks are less costly to produce. The same paper, inks and security features are used on our checks as other vendors.
Q: What security features do the checks include?
A: Our business checks include the following security features:
- Microprint Signature Line - Very small letters that can be read through a magnifying glass, but which appear to the unaided eye to be dashed or solid lines. An "MP" designator is used in conjunction with the micro printed text.
- A Second Microprint Line is also printed on the center of the back of the check.
- Dual Security Screen - Very light printing on the back of the document with reversed text not easily duplicated by a color copier or scanning/laser printer.
- The words "Original Document" are printed in a Security Screen.
- In the endorsement area, the word "Security" is also printed in a Security Screen.
- Thermochromatic Ink - heat sensitive ink that will change color when a person touches the document. It changes back to the original color after it is no longer touched.
- Padlock Icon and Warning Box - Warns consumers that Security Features are present on the document. This Icon and Warning Box is authorized only by the "CPSA" Check Printers Stationery Association to check printing companies who have met the above requirements.
- Absence of any of these will indicate a copy.
Q: Are our account and routing numbers safe?
A: Yes. We Protect Your Privacy - Automated Systems, Inc. Does Not Sell, Rent Or Share ANY check related Customer Information with Anyone!
