Secure Cheque Printing Using Your Own Bank Accounts
Put your existing banking relationships to work with zero account access required. PaymentsNow handles the printing and mailing while you keep full banking control and reconcile directly against your own accounts.
How it works: we only ever collect the account details needed to lay out your cheque template. Your banking information is printed onto the cheque stock itself — we never hold, access, or move funds in your accounts.

Same-day processing — your cheques and documents are printed, processed, and dispatched the same day.
Complete visibility — track every cheque from print to mailbox with real-time status updates.
Predictable costs — trim expenses 50%+ with one flat rate per cheque, no surcharges, no monthly fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can we send our first cheque run?
Most accounts go from sign-up to first production run within one business day: create the account, approve your cheque template proof, upload a file, and approve it.
What do you need from us to begin?
Three things: the account details to lay out your cheque template (we never touch the funds), a signing officer to approve payments, and a payment file in any of the supported formats.
Is there any commitment or minimum?
None. Your first five cheques are free, there is no monthly fee, and after that you pay the flat $2.60 per cheque only when you actually send something.
