Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Find Your Bank's Routing Number

Your bank's routing number is a 9-digit number that identifies your financial institution. You can find it:

• On a previous check (bottom left)
• In your bank's mobile app (account details section)
• On your bank's website
• By searching on VoidedCheck.com

Step 2: Gather Your Account Number

Your account number is your individual bank account identifier. Find it:

• In your bank's mobile app or online banking portal
• On a previous bank statement
• By calling your bank's customer service line

Step 3: Generate Your Voided Check

• Go to VoidedCheck.com
• Search for your bank by name or enter your routing number directly
• Enter your account number
• Add your name and address
• Preview the voided check to make sure everything looks correct

Step 4: Download and Submit

• Download your voided check as a PNG (high-resolution image) or PDF
• You can also get an ACH Direct Deposit Form bundle
• Email or print the voided check and submit it to your employer

Is an Online Voided Check Legitimate?

Yes. A voided check — whether physical or digital — serves one purpose: to communicate your routing number and account number to the requesting party. An online voided check contains the exact same information as a voided paper check.

The word "VOID" is printed across the face to prevent the document from being used as a payment instrument. Your employer's payroll department uses only the routing and account numbers to set up your direct deposit.

Security Considerations

When using an online voided check generator, choose a service that:

• Encrypts your data during transmission and processing
• Does not permanently store your account number
• Uses routing numbers verified against the Federal Reserve's FedACH directory
• Provides secure download links

VoidedCheck.com uses AES-256 encryption and sources all routing data from the Federal Reserve.
