FAQ

When will my check’s recipient receive the check? 

Your recipient can expect delivery within 5-10 business days from when you submit the check in Found. Mailed checks are sent via USPS first class mail, and do not have USPS tracking numbers. 

You will receive an email notification from Found when your check is deposited by the recipient. 

Can I expedite a check to be mailed faster? 

Currently we only mail checks via USPS first class mail, they cannot be expedited or sent via a different mail courier. 

Can I cancel a check that I have mailed? 

You may be able to cancel the check if it hasn’t already been deposited by the recipient. 

If your outgoing check submission has not completed processing, you can prevent the check from being sent by selecting the check in Found and selecting “Cancel” on the checks’s activity detail page.

If the option to cancel does not appear, the check has already completed processing and can no longer be directly canceled in your Found account.

In this situation, please reach out to our customer experience team to see if a stop payment can be requested to cancel the check before it is deposited. 

What are the fees to mail a check? 

The fee to mail a check is $1 for each mailed check. If the check is canceled before it has been processed and mailed, the $1 fee may be refunded. We are unable to refund the fee for checks that have been printed and mailed.

What are the limits for mailing a check? 

You can mail checks for amounts up to $10,000.

Can I schedule a check to be sent later or set up a recurring check mailing schedule? 

At this time, it’s not possible to schedule a check to be sent later or set up a recurring mailing schedule.
