## Overview

When you have a Brex business account with a checking account, you can send checks to your vendors. Rather than being issued a physical checkbook that you fill out by hand, you’ll select check as payment method in your Brex dashboard, which will result in a check being mailed to the recipient.

We don’t offer physical checkbooks for issuing checks from your checking account offered by Column, N.A., or for third parties printing checks with your checking account information. Please note that the address where the check is delivered is what is printed on the check.

All checks sent from your checking account will be standard checks. We don’t offer other check types, such as cashier’s checks.

We do not allow third-party printing of checks. Therefore, all checks sent from your checking account in conjunction with your Brex business account must be initiated through your Brex app or dashboard. Any checks issued by a third-party will be returned upon deposit.

## Cancelling a check

You might run into a situation where you want to cancel a check from your checking account that you’ve already initiated. Admins and users can cancel outbound checks from the Brex dashboard by following the steps below.

### In the dashboard

**Step 1:** Navigate to _Accounts_ > Select the checking account. Under the _Transactions_ tab, you’ll see a list of processing or future payments.

**Step 2: **Select the check payment and click the ⊘ icon on the left side of _Download transaction_.

Once the check has been canceled, a notification will be emailed to all admins and users on the account.

**Note:** Checks that do not have the cancel button available have already been deposited (i.e., cashed) and can no longer be canceled. If that is the case then you will need to work with the recipient to resolve any outstanding issues.

## Check status and tracking

Once the recipient deposits the check, its status will change from _Processing_ to _Processed_. If the check goes undeposited for 90 days, we’ll automatically cancel it. If you still want to send the payment via check, you can re-issue it in your dashboard.

You can view your processing checks in the dashboard under _Accounts_ > _Checking account _>_Transactions _and filtering by status_._

Outgoing checks from your Brex business account are sent via USPS and can’t be expedited. They won’t have a tracking number, so please allow approximately 2 weeks for their arrival.
