Re: Show HN: Check Supply – Send Checks in the Mail
#33This is hilarious and wonderful, and attractive to boot. I wish you the best of luck. I know that the big banks I use offer this service for free (as “Bill Pay”), but maybe there are also-ran banks that don’t? Or is the aim more to address the unbanked and fintech crowds: “Cash App us a lump of dollars and we’ll send it somewhere by check”? You stoked my curiosity, and I looked around: at a glance, it seems like Chas…

#36Actually at a previous company we had to use a service that did exactly this because we had to send money to various businesses and they didn't all have ACH/etc setup. So we had to use a relatively archaic service and API to send out physical checks. Not sure how big of a market it is, but there is definitely a need at least on the business side.

#37I see you are using Plaid for Bank integration. The last time I checked Plaid , there were security issues with regards to how it handled passwords by copying Bank login screens. I believe TD was suing Plaid for this reason.
I wish you best of luck but I avoid any service that uses Plaid.

#38Good to see that there are things where Germany is not behind the US when it comes to digitalization.
I haven’t seen a check for at least 20 years now.
Financial transactions are all nicely digitalized by now.

#39If you can find customers more power to you I guess, but I just can't see the use case here. Having a checkbook, envelopes and stamps is a basic part of being a functional adult. It's not hard or expensive to do, so why on earth would anyone want to pay you to handle basic adulting for them?
You're assuming everybody has convenient access to a USPS mailbox too. Try "just" writing and mailing a check when traveling internationally, for example.

Thanks, appreciate the comment!
> Cash App us a lump of cash and we’ll send it somewhere by check
Funny thing about sending checks is it's just an account and routing number in a special font on a piece of paper. We don't touch any customer funds.
> Am I missing something that differentiates what you do from what they do?
We have a simpler UI with a focus just on sending the check, so having your contacts prefilled make it quick and easy. But, if your bank already supports this then probably not for you!
If we grow the app enough, we'll add more features like scheduled / recurring payments and tracking for delivery and when the check is deposited.
