As one that has a fulltime bookeeper working for me I have two comment:

If it cost you $4.00 per transaction to process a check you are getting ripped in the shorts, that is total BS to log and post a check, just as a creditcard transaction.

If this is a profit center processing check then call it what it is.... you must think we are a bunch of dummies out here....

It takes my bookeeper a totall of 30-90 seconds to post a check and add it to her deposit list each day....

Have a great day
