PREPRINTED CHECKS FUTURE CUT-OFF DATE

Shana Meadows

In an 8/14/25 email, BB mentioned that in FE there is a pre-printed checks – FUTURE SHUT OFF DATEf Date What it means: If your organization currently uses pre-printed checks (i.e., checks that already have bank and account details printed on them), FE NXT is planning to phase out support for them.

We utilize Positive Pay service and pre-printed checks that were required to be printed by our bank. Businesses provide their bank with a list of issued checks (including check number, amount, and payee). When a check is presented for payment, the bank compares it against the provided list. If there's a mismatch, the bank flags it as an exception, and the business decides whether to pay or reject the check.

We need the ability to continue to use our own pre-printed checks and have support for the process.

I did not see that email but I certainly hope that Blackbaud changes their plans for this. I am still using the "database view", which was the original financial software, to print my checks. I have tried printing checks through NXT but have been unable to properly align them. I don't understand why an organization can't upload a sample check and have the system scan and format the payment to fit in the check fields.

I just found the email. I don't think they are eliminating the use of pre printed checks. The statement indicates that the changes for the Shared Components will occur in September except for those utilizing preprinted checks - that phase out of the Shared Components will have a future shut off date, not the use of preprinted checks being shut off.

I will be glad to understand more. I contacted the help desk and some of the information in my post is quoted from what they stated to me.
