Business owners and managers know that people will shop more often and spend more
money at a place of business that accepts and makes check writing easy. With CHECKMATE
on your side, you can accept checks with confidence and not worry about spending
your precious time trying to deal with bad checks. With Checkmate, each returned
check recovery is handled in the same professional manner in full compliance with
local statutes and the Fair Debt and Collection Practices Act.
• Your bank releases all returned checks directly to CHECKMATE, reducing collection
time.
• CHECKMATE mails same-day notification to the client of the returned checks.
• The collection process begins immediately, returning a positive cash flow as soon
as possible for the client.

to you, or, CHECKMATE will file the check for prosecution with the State’s Attorney’s
office. (Less than 10% of bad checks need to be filed for prosecution)

each month.
