Most banks get their checks from the same sources, like Deluxe Check Printers, and they offer raised line checks.

I too use the duplicate cheques but I don't write them. There aren't many businesses who take cheques any more of course but on-line banking which I also use does not cover every situation. I have accounts at a few businesses around town and I like to pay them by cheque rather than charge card or debit card. they offer me account services and they send me a bill. I don't see any reason why they should have to pay the banks for offering me that convenience. I would like it if they would offer me a discount for their saving but I consider it part of the cost of convenience. I have been able to occasionally pay by cheque rather than credit card for the bank discount in some situations, particularly large purchases. The vendor can give me 4 or 5% discount and there is also some tax saving to me without costing the vendor anything, it is just money he doesn't pay the card people. Not all merchants will do that. I saved a couple of hundred bucks on a bed a few years ago, enough to hang new curtains and a spread with some change. Don't think either of my banks offer raised line cheques.
