Check Security Paper

As more payments are being made electronically, less and less check security paper is being purchased. In order to combat the competition, makers of check paper are producing new technologies. These new high-tech security papers are catching banks' interest.

Makers of check security paper are also trying to increase business by going green. While it is difficult to include recycled content in checks because of stringent banking standards, there is one UK bank that does so. In addition, as technology improves and forest tree resources grow scarcer, banks may be more willing to integrate recycled paper into checks.

Some banks still frown on check security paper that has recycled content. However, other banks such as the Royal Bank still try to court customers with their green attitude. The Royal Bank reported that in 2004 they used approximately 40,000,000 recycled envelopes to mail out customer statements.
