Check announced this morning that it had completed a Series C investment round that will boost the company’s capital by $24 million.

This funding round was led by new investor Menlo Ventures, and included participation from current investors Morgenthaler Ventures and Pitango Venture Capital.

Check will put the capital to good use helping expand the business and grow the company’s role in making it easier for consumers to track, manage, and pay their bills. Said Check CEO, Guy Goldstein, “Americans make $4 trillion worth of bill payments per year, and Check is transforming the bill payment industry with a simple, fast, and easy-to-use mobile app.”
