Product updates

Previously, in the event of a failed funding, employers would immediately be downgraded to 4-day processing. We’re rolling out an update so that now in the event of a failed funding, your employer will remain on 2-day processing unless they do not resolve the failed funding within 5 business days. Note that these failed fundings will still count towards the 6-failure limit before being de-platformed. This update will take effect Monday 3/4. Head to our FAQ in our Help Center to learn more.

Effective as of February 22, when Check requests bank statements as part of an employer diligence review or a processing upgrade request (i.e, from 4-day to 2-day processing), Check will require those bank statements to match the bank account that the employer provided to Check during onboarding. Check is making this change to ensure that the employer has sufficient funds in the correct account and to minimize fraud risk. If an employer wishes to change their bank account in Check’s system, you can generate an Onboard link for this purpose.

Check enables developers to return paper checks through our API so your customers can use them to print on their own check stock. In December, we announced a new DLT 159 check stock, provided by Deluxe, as our primary recommended check stock moving forward. This was previously only available through a query parameter, but as of February 8th, this is now the only paper check stock we return from our endpoints. Partners should recommend their end employers purchase this check stock when needed to print paper checks. As a reminder, DLT159 is backwards compatible with DLT104, our prior recommendation, for employers who haven’t yet purchased this new stock. Have more questions? Head to the FAQ in our Help Center.

We have added additional filters to the Failed Filings Report in Console to allow filtering by monthly and annual filings. Previously, monthly failed filings were reported via Zendesk. Monthly and annual filings are also available through the Tax Filings API.
