Add a check signature

  1. After your bank is active in Fingercheck, go to the SETUP tab > Payroll > Bank Accounts.

  2. Click the Edit icon (pencil) for the account.

  3. Hover over the Signature field, and click the camera icon.

  4. Upload a signature that is approximately 300 by 1500 pixels (or that ratio).

Add “VOID AFTER 90 DAYS” to checks

If you would like to have the note “VOID AFTER 90 DAYS” appear on your checks, we suggest using a graphic design and photo editing software, such as Photoshop. The goal is to have the note “VOID AFTER 90 DAYS” appear directly above your signature.

Below are instructions for using Photoshop to add the note above your signature:

  1. Open Photoshop.

  2. Go to FILE > NEW.

  3. In the Width field, enter a value of 1500 pixels.

  4. In the Height field, enter a value that is one-fifth of the width or 300 pixels.

  5. Click Create.

You can now design or import any image into this Photoshop Canvas, keeping the 5:1 aspect ratio. First, add the text “VOID AFTER 90 DAYS” at the top, then add your signature with the specifications above.

For a better resolution, leave more white space on the sides.
