This summer, we <a href=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/the-wealthfront-cash-account-now-comes-with-checking-features\/\">enabled checking features<\/a> so you can direct deposit your paycheck (and get paid up to two days early), pay bills and friends, make purchases with a debit card, and access your cash via a network of free ATMs. Next, we made it possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/you-can-now-deposit-a-check-with-the-wealthfront-app\/\">deposit a check<\/a> right from the mobile app. Still, our clients told us that they occasionally needed to send paper checks, as annoyingly antiquated as they are. <strong>That\u2019s why we\u2019re glad to announce you can now easily send a check <strong>\u2014<\/strong> on a one-time or recurring basis <strong>\u2014<\/strong> right from the Wealthfront app.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve made sending a check simple, so it takes just a few taps on your phone. We send the check for you, so there\u2019s no envelope, stamp, or checkbook required. With the release of this feature, we\u2019re thrilled the Cash Account can now handle all of your day-to-day banking needs. Unlike traditional checking accounts, the Cash Account also pays interest and makes it easy for you to invest. <strong>Now that you can send checks directly from your Cash Account, it has all of the features you need to use Wealthfront for your primary banking services<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending a check from the Wealthfront app is simple and completely free. You don\u2019t even have to pay for postage. Just open the app and tap \u201cTransfer funds\u201d and then hit \u201cSend a check.\u201d From there, choose the amount, recipient, and arrival date. After that, the check is in the mail, as they say; we\u2019ll handle the rest. To learn more about how to access this feature, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.wealthfront.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360048011352\">check out the details here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sendcheck-blog-productshot-578x530.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sendcheck-blog-productshot-578x530.png 578w, https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sendcheck-blog-productshot-545x500.png 545w, https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sendcheck-blog-productshot-768x704.png 768w, https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/sendcheck-blog-productshot.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about monthly rent? Or paying your HOA bill? If you need to pay by check on a recurring basis, Wealthfront makes that easy too. You don\u2019t have to remember to write a check each month <strong>\u2014<\/strong> Wealthfront will send checks on a set schedule and up to a year in advance. We\u2019ll email you a reminder before we send each one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Upgrade your banking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you can send paper checks (without even owning a checkbook), the Cash Account has all the checking features of a traditional bank account, plus it actually earns interest. And our products keep getting even better. Last month, we launched <a href=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/meet-autopilot-a-new-service-that-automates-your-savings-strategy\/\">Autopilot<\/a> <strong>\u2014<\/strong> a free service that lets you automate your savings strategy, making it effortless to move extra cash into the Wealthfront account of your choosing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Wealthfront, we\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/wealthfronts-new-mission\/\">building a financial system that favors people, not institutions<\/a>. In order to do that, we\u2019re reinventing banking to benefit you. That means helping you bank the way you want to bank without <a href=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/why-you-should-ditch-bank-branches\/\">visiting bank branches<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/meet-wealthfronts-product-specialist-team\/\">spending hours on hold just to speak with customer support<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/canary.kcprod.info/blog\/what-you-should-know-about-bank-fees\/\">paying unnecessary fees<\/a>. Instead, we offer best-in-class products that make it easy to manage your financial life.
