Check Processing Software for Small Business
Simple check processing for small business owners. Extract routing numbers, amounts, and payee names from check images in seconds. Upload check photos, get Excel data ready for QuickBooks or your records. $79/month unlimited.
Why Small Businesses Need Check Processing Software
If your small business receives check payments, you know the pain: every check means manual data entry. You have to type the routing number, account number, check amount, date, and payee name into your records or accounting software. One typo can throw off your reconciliation.
Check processing software eliminates this manual work. Upload a photo or scan of the check, and AI extracts all the data automatically. The MICR line (that row of numbers at the bottom of every check) contains the routing number, account number, and check number—Zera AI reads it with 99.6% accuracy.
Unlike enterprise check processing systems designed for banks, Zera Books is built for small businesses. Simple upload, instant extraction, Excel or QuickBooks export. No hardware, no complex setup, no per-check fees.

Real Business Results
"We were drowning in bank statements from two provinces and multiple revenue streams. Zera Books cut our month-end reconciliation from three days to about four hours."

The Challenge
Zoom Books processes over 3 million books monthly across Canada and the US, with operations in British Columbia and Ontario. Managing financial data from multiple revenue streams—library partnerships, thrift store buybacks, wholesale operations—meant reconciling dozens of bank statements every month. Our accounting team was spending 2-3 days just on manual data entry during month-end close, pulling transactions from PDFs into QuickBooks. With $2.5M+ in annual partner payments, we couldn't afford errors or delays.
The Solution
We started using Zera Books to convert all our bank statements—business accounts in BC, ON, and our US operations. Instead of manually typing hundreds of transactions, we just upload the PDFs and get clean CSV files ready for QuickBooks. The AI handles even our messiest statements from different banks, and we can review and edit any transactions before importing. It's become part of our standard month-end workflow.
