What are the different ways I can send a check with Baselane?

With Baselane Banking you can send checks to third parties/vendors in a few ways:

  • Mail a check via Baselane: Enter your vendor's information and the payment amount in the Baselane portal, and Baselane will print and mail the check directly to their address on your behalf (costs $2 per mailed check)

  • Third party printed checkbook: You can print a checkbook directly from a third party, like Costco, Walmart, or Office Depot. Note: not all third parties have been tested and they may not all work

  • Order a Baselane checkbook (Coming Soon): Order a Baselane branded checkbook to your address with the click of a button (costs $15 per checkbook: contains 80 checks)
