How do I send a check from my Crowded account?
To initiate a check payment from your Crowded account, follow these simple steps:
- Log in to the Crowded web app.
- Click on the "+" button.
- Select "Send Check."
You'll need to provide the following details in the form:
- Amount
- Recipient's full name (ensure it matches their bank statement)
- Recipient's Street address
- Recipient's email
- Description of the payment.
The check will be physically printed and mailed to the recipient.
The check will be delivered in 7-10 business days.
Once mailed, the check can be cashed up to 180 days later. If not, the check will be invalid and you’ll be charged $7.50.
What time will my check be processed?
Check payments requests are batched and processed at 12 p.m. Eastern Time, every business day.
What does each status mean?
In Delivery: The check payment has been printed and handed off to USPS.
