Getting started is fast. Our cloud platform needs no downloads, and we aim to validate and activate new accounts the same day. If you’re uploading by CSV, you can begin mailing cheques immediately after activation, with no software to install.
You send us your payment data by CSV file or a direct integration. We print each cheque on the correct template for that bank account, then securely process and mail it to your payee. Along the way you receive delivery updates, detailed reports, and a Positive Pay file you can hand to your bank.
You can integrate by CSV upload, REST API, or a direct QuickBooks Online sync. For higher-volume operations we also support custom pipelines such as SFTP. Reach out and we’ll map the right connection for your stack.
Absolutely. You can brand both the cheque and the stub with static elements like logos or fixed notes, plus dynamic fields such as payment details, invoice numbers, and recipient-specific information. You can also attach supporting documents to be mailed alongside each cheque.
We print on proprietary high-security cheque stock featuring tamper-resistant elements and bank-compliant MICR printing. Two paper formats are available — laser three-fold cheques and pressure-seal cheques — both engineered for secure, efficient payment processing.
Canadian cheques are printed and mailed from our secure Calgary fulfillment facility for efficient, trackable delivery across the country, with cross-border mailing available where you need it.
Cheques approved before our daily cut-off on business days are mailed the same day. Your delivery options include:
Exact shipping costs are calculated live at the moment you place your order.
Each mailed cheque carries tracking that shows the projected arrival window and the confirmed delivery date, flags returned mail the moment it happens, and feeds a full payment report. A Positive Pay file is also generated for you to submit to your bank as an extra layer of fraud protection.
We apply bank-grade safeguards throughout. PaymentsNow is SOC 2 Type 2 attested, HIPAA aligned, and built to GDPR-level privacy expectations. Traffic is protected with TLS 1.3 and data is encrypted with AES-256, backed by fraud-prevention tooling and strict role-based access. Cheques are produced inside monitored, access-controlled facilities with automated handling that limits human exposure.
Yes. PaymentsNow is designed for multiple teams and departments to manage cheque payments in the same account. It supports unlimited bank accounts and custom cheque templates, and each user is assigned access controls based on their role so you can enforce separation of duties. Issuing accounts can be structured by bank, company, or department, letting different teams collaborate while keeping clear boundaries and workflows.
You’ve grown a loyal client base and a skilled bookkeeping team. Every client comes with their own policies and payment rules, and that’s where your expertise shines. Your accounting software handles the transactions and accounts well, but when it’s time to print cheques it often falls short — or isn’t a realistic option for your firm. We close that gap.
Your vendors, suppliers, and customers count on you to pay them on time — and nobody works harder in your business than you do. If you’re honest, the weekly grind of writing payroll cheques, refunds, vendor payments, and tax remittances by hand eats up far more time than it should. We give you accounts-payable tooling that keeps pace with you.
PaymentsNow is flexible, scalable, and secure, with packages you can tailor to your cheque printing and delivery needs. As a leader in enterprise cheque fulfillment, we have a plan to make your workflow easier. The best way to see if we’re the right fit is to try us — our starter plan covers all the essentials to get going.
Submit your cheque payments by connecting through our PaymentsNow app, available on the QuickBooks App Store, and we handle the printing, mailing, and tracking from there.
With the API and webhooks, your system submits cheques and documents programmatically, mailing happens without anyone touching it, and shipment events stream back to you as they occur — payment ops keep moving from start to finish.

Yes. A single urgent cheque moves through the same approval path as a thousand-row batch, and anything approved before the daily cutoff dispatches from Calgary the same business day, with courier options when mail is too slow.
Your first five cheques are free, with no monthly fee and nothing to pre-pay.
