Horrible company
Horrible company. This was from last year, but they popped up again and figured I would prevent someone from choosing this company again. My experience was that you can cancel any time, as it states in their contract. They DO NOT let you cancel and you must contact your bank to cancel. I would get responses back that my representative would reach back out to me, which never did. Responses saying they canceled my services, kept getting charged. The support email was a canned response. I never got anywhere.
Last attempt was to contact the person's cell number that enrolled me for their services and he even said, "i'm sorry, they are horrible and I never even got paid from them. They scammed me too".
Do NOT use them.

Worst company ever
I have been working with ppoc for years and never had an issue. Checkbook one day decided to suspend my account without any notice. I didn’t realize until 2 weeks later. And they wanted ppoc to contact them if I ever want to get my account back. But PPOC customer service didn’t understand why my account got suspended and why checkbook need them. They refused to do so but they did resent my payments by PayPal. Checkbook literally suspended my account and stopped my payment when their client didn’t have an issue. The customer service representatives are quite stupid. They can never answer my questions right. I’m asking about something they are telling about something else.

Hi there,
My name is Eden and I'm a member of the Customer Support team. Thank you for your feedback. We understand your frustration. There are situations where a recipient’s account could be suspended for any number of reasons. In these situations our goal is to ensure that we are not exposing our clients to any risks before re-enabling the account.
Your account was flagged by our system. In most cases, just like in yours, it’s a simple precaution due to financial regulations and all we need is some additional information. Once you provided the requested information and the sender confirmed we were able to reinstate your account.
We apologize for the inconvenience that this caused you. While this may not have been an ideal experience, I hope you understand our ultimate goal is to ensure the safety and success of our senders and recipients payments.
If you have any questions, or if we can ever do anything for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at support@checkbook.io and we will be happy to assist you.
Best regards,
Eden P.

Inconsistent direct checks
Note: Nice try but deflection and lack of accountability don’t look good on your company……after my post Checkbook IO attempted to have my review removed. Didn’t work guys. If only you were as fast with them direct check errors.
Do not use them for large direct check bundles. They seem to have a issue with this feature.
I work for the university I am mentioning. I fully understand how deposits work. When it time for checkbook io to issue refunds on behalf on my college they have issues. My review is not the first to comment on this inconsistency.
Is it intentional holding of the money? Let’s hope not. At best it’s a technical issue that has Persisted at least over the last year without any real changes on the end of checkbook io.
We have several thousand students who are very upset because they depend on that money to get by.
( they also assured accounting the issues would be fixed yesterday and was not)
My university uses them as a way to deposit student refunds. This is the second time in a month these payments where not sent out properly. It’s very frustrating as the accounts department at the college and the team here seem to take several days to weeks to sort it out.
In response to the response to my review. Of course you don’t dictate when my college sends out payment. However as they use your service the responsibility of successfully issuing these payment falls on your company and software. 20,000 student plus have been repeatedly delayed in receiving payments issued via the digital check. I have communications from my school explaining the issues. Deflection does look good on a corporation.

Hello Tawnie,
My name is Genna and I'm a member of the Customer Support team here at Checkbook. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
While I completely understand your frustration in this situation, we do not decide when payments are sent to students. As soon as your payment sender issues a payment it is processed immediately. If you are having any difficulty with a payment, please email us at support@checkbook.io and we will be happy to guide you on the best course of action to deposit your payment. Or, If you are on the deposit screen of your payment, there is a blue chat icon in the bottom right hand corner that you can use to chat with a live Checkbook Support Agent Monday through Friday, 8am to 8pm est. They will be able to guide you on how to deposit your payment if you are experiencing any difficulty.
Kind regards,
Genna T.

If I could give this company a zero
If I could give this company a zero, I would. I rented a week of vacation through Redweek.com and checkbook.io is the company they use to distribute payments. They deposited my money into the wrong account at the wrong bank. Almost $3000 gone. Communication with checkbook.io has been atrocious. There is no one to actually speak to. They say they don't have that capability yet. What kind of business is this. They said they sent a Letter of Intent to the bank where my money was deposited. When I asked for the content of the letter, I was told that they can't provide that information unless it is the insurance company for the person who was defrauded. It has been a month and a half and I am still waiting for a resolution to my situation. They also said they were not allowed to give me their physical address. It's in San Mateo, CA, by the way. I found it on the web. Why can't they give me a physical address? This is all very shady to me. If they resolve my issue, I will certainly give them credit, but so far I don't have much confidence in this company. I would not recommend using them.

Hi Robert,
My name is Genna and I’m a member of the Customer Support team. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
In regards to this situation your account was compromised by factors outside of Checkbook. While we offer MFA, you must enable it. As a payment processor, we may not take responsibility for security breaches on the recipient side, especially when they are preventable by enabling certain security controls we offer.
Regarding the funds being sent to the wrong bank account, we transfer funds to the bank account that is added by the recipient, i.e. we follow instructions. It’s the account holder's responsibility to keep their account secure. In this case, since the breach was not on our side, we processed the payment per the instructions provided. We may not take responsibility if somebody on your side adds the wrong bank account.
We have gone above and beyond working with you and your bank responding in a timely manner by multiple members of our team, and attempting to locate the funds.
If you have any other questions on this, please feel free to contact us at support@checkbook.io and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
Best regards,
Genna T.
I think it's really good and helpful
I think it's really good and helpful, but I think they charge way too much for sending payments $1/per check is kind of crazy if you think of it. $.50 would be more reasonable for those of us that are sending over $50,000+ in a given month. If they lessened the expense I would give 5 stars. Also people seem to have trouble sometimes with depositing. Some form of support for those people would be very helpful that is easy for them to find.

Data scammers
No payroll information included with payment. No amount of online assistance made it possible to see any detail regarding the payment. Demanded I link my bank account, and still got nothing. Now they have all my banking info and provide zero services. Will have to change my log in information and inform my clients that I will no longer accept payments through checkbook. Data scammers is all they are.
Update - checkbook reached out and stated that the details would be coming, that the check deposit was still too fresh. It was deposited 24 days ago.... Guess I'll stick to my assessment for now.
