What is Sending Checks?
Sending Checks is a way to make payments directly from your Snap! Spend bank account. When you are unable to pay by debit card, you have the ability to mail a check to any recipient.
Please note: Funds from the check will not be debited against the respective account until the recipient cashes the check. The transaction will be listed as pending, but funds will not be deducted until the check is cashed. If a check is attempted to be deposited and there are not sufficient funds, the check will fail, and a new check will need to be issued.
When to Send Checks
We recommend Sending Checks only when paying by card is not possible. Here are some examples:
- Paying for tournaments that don’t accept cards
- Reimbursing coach expenses
