About Bradford Exchange Checks:
I just helped my daughter open her first checking account. She's got a debit card and it's attached to a small savings account. Just having a savings account doesn't really help her manage money. It's been great for her to see the value of saving versus spending, and we've allowed her to take out small amounts for things she really wants. Having the ability to freely spend will now change things. The banker who helped us open the account was quite nice and offered a slew of accessories such as; matching photo ID, direct deposit, and a booklet of checks.
The account itself bears no monthly fee or ATM charges. The bummer was that checks actually cost money. Boring pale green checks with black lettering were close to $20 per box. That seems outrageous to me. It makes no sense that overall printing costs have become way less because of improved machinery. Sure, there's the cost of ink, but how much colored ink could a 2 1/2" x 5" piece of paper use? Also, cheaper-quality paper is being used; the checks are so thin you can see through them. I'm sure if I were able to print out checks on my home computer, it wouldn't cost me $20 in supplies or time.
BradfordExchangeChecks.com didn't save us much more than the bank charged (even though they claim to save you 70%), but their designs are terrific. I loved the inspirational scenes while my daughter chose Star Trek checks. It makes writing checks more pleasant.
