To ensure that your cheques comply with the standards imposed by a bank, it is important to maintain an in-house quality assurance programme. Many cheques printers, equipment vendors and fortune 500 companies around the world use RDM's MICR Verifier and Verifier MH to monitor and detect problems associated with the MICR line.

Banks forced to process inferior MICR documents are tightening up their standards and are implementing harsher penalties for reject items. Banks may charge $ 0.50 to 6.00 per item for repairing and processing poor quality MICR documents.
