Yup, I use Suntrust, and that's the primary way I pay people whom I owe
money or am paying back for something.
The checks are very professional, and you can type in the memo right on the
website.
Take care,

Actually you need to talk to your bank. Many banks have the ability to
write electronic checks. The actual check does not matter. If you watch
the Price is right you will notice they give out checks the size of posters
and they are actually cashable checks. The little bar code is all that
really matters it has a check routing number and the information needed to
make it cashable. Some banks charge extra for electronic checks but some do
not. So talk to your bank / credit union and see if there is a way to print
them.
