How to change a name as it appears on a check

Hi there,

I work in a church and one of the members asked me to change her name as it appears on checks that I print. 

I updated her name in the vendors list but the check still printed with her name, and her deceased husband's name. How do I remove his name for the next time I print her a check?

How to change a name as it appears on a check

I'm here to ensure you'd be able to change the name that appears on the check when printing, @BarbC.

 

To do so, you'll need to change the name on the Print name on the check as field. Let me show you how: 

 

  1. At the top of your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account, go to the Vendors menu 
  2. Select Vendor center.
  3. Double-click the vendor's name you want to create a check.
  4. Choose Payment Settings.
  5. In the Print Name on check as field, enter the name you want to appear in Print As.
  6. Once done, click OK.

 

For more information about this, please see this article: Create, modify, and print checks.

 

For future help, here are some articles that you can check if you encounter issues when printing:
