Direct Cheque Printers
Definition
- Printing companies that offer cheque printing services at lower prices (than most banks) to customers who use chequing accounts. Many of these printers are also printing cheques for banks that use outside printers. Customers must supply these companies with a voided cheque or a reorder form from a current batch of cheques and a deposit slip. Names and addresses must match with information on file at the account holder's bank.
