Write Checks in Toast Payroll

You can run your Toast Payroll to produce payroll checks from your Toast Checking Account simply by switching out your funding bank account.

This will reduce the risk of bounced payrolls and give you better control of your expenses.

Write Checks for Third Parties

You can use your Toast Checking Account to pay vendors, property owners, utilities, and more by writing checks the traditional way. Purchase blank checks from a third-party provider, and ensure they’ve been magnetic ink character recognition (MICR)-encoded with your Toast Checking Account (or Jar) routing and account numbers.

You can then write checks by hand, or use check-writing software for a more uniform look. Note: When you write a check of $1,000 or higher, you’ll need to register the check on the to ensure the check clears. Unregistered checks of $1,000 or more will be returned unpaid.

Send Wire Transfers

You can also send outbound wire transfers from your Toast Checking Account. These must be initiated from your by selecting the Wire transfer button. There is a $25 fee for each outbound wire transfer.

Accuracy of information is crucial. Inaccurate information could result in the wire being rejected, failing, or routing to someone other than your intended recipient and you may not have recourse to get your money back in this scenario. 

Additionally, please be sure the routing information submitted is usable for wire transfers as many large banks have a different routing number for wires than what is shown on your checks or used for ACH transfers.

Once you fill in the form, submit it and keep a copy handy. You can print the form or access it again from your dashboard by double-selecting the pending wire transfer listed at the top of your transactions list.

After the form is submitted, you will be automatically prompted to schedule a phone review with a Toast representative who will verify your identity and the transfer details. This last step is for your protection, reducing the risk of fraud and the chance the funds are mistakenly sent to the wrong account.

Once a wire that you have authorized is sent, it is not possible to get the funds back and you are responsible for any losses. Your call with Toast must occur before 4:45 p.m. ET for the wire to be processed the same day. Wire requests received after the cutoff or on weekends and holidays can be scheduled for review on the next business day.

Use Bill Pay via Toast Checking

You can also use via Toast Checking to settle your bills and invoices. Select Move money > Pay a bill at the top of the dashboard to be taken to a simple Toast Bill Pay experience, where you’ll be able to enter details of an invoice and pay the bill.

Toast Checking FAQ

Visit our full Toast Checking FAQs here.

Is there a monthly fee?

There is no monthly fee for Toast Checking and there is no minimum balance required to avoid a fee.

How much does it cost to transfer funds to and from my account?

There is no fee for ACH transfers into or out of your account. For wire transfers, there is a fee of $5 for each inbound wire transfer. There is a fee of $25 for each outbound wire transfer.

Is there a maximum total Auto Savings percentage for Toast Checking?

There is no limit, but you cannot increase your Auto Savings percentage above 100%. The transfer will occur each day after all other scheduled debits are withdrawn (e.g. card processing fees, Easy Pay repayments, Toast Capital repayments, any Instant Deposits, etc.). If remaining funds after all scheduled debits are deducted equate to less than the percentage you set for your daily deposit transfer, all remaining funds will be swept to your Toast Checking account effectively reducing the % of daily sales diverted.

Here’s an example of how Auto Savings works:

Let’s say you you have 10% Auto Savings set up and $1,000 in card sales today, with the following scheduled debits:

• • $30.00 in card processing fees
  • $17.50 in Easy Pay repayments
  • $52.50 in Toast Capital repayments

After these debits, you have $900 left to settle. Your 10% Auto Savings will be collected based on that amount, so $90 will be deposited into your Toast Checking account, and the remaining $810 will settle to your bank account on file with Toast.

Can I overdraft my Toast Checking account with a purchase?

No. We don’t currently offer overdraft protection. If you attempt a transaction for more money than you have in your primary Toast Checking account or Jar, it will get declined. Funds will not be pulled from other Jars or your primary Toast Checking account to cover the transaction. If you have an upcoming purchase or an automated payment from your Jar, it’s best to make sure your Jar has sufficient funding first.
