Many of these businesses and individuals are using popular software called CheckWriter to make this possible. CheckWriter is a stand alone software program that allows anyone to accept checks as payment over the phone, by fax or at any web-site. These check drafts can be deposited into any U.S. bank account the same day.
CheckWriter runs on a Windows 95/98 operating systems. Using a laser, ink-jet or bubble jet printer and a piece of Federal Reserve regulation check paper, the user can create a draft of the check that can be immediately deposited. Banks treat a draft just like they treat a check.
