What are Starter Checks?
Whenever a new bank customer opens a new checking account, her or she often receives a small supply of generic checks, commonly known as starter checks. Starter checks rarely contain any of the customer’s personal information, but they will contain all of the checking account’s routing information necessary for processing. The new account holder may have to fill in the areas normally printed with his or her personal address, phone number, driver’s license number and other identifiers.
