What Makes A Personal Cheque CPA Compliant?

Every personal cheque meets Payments Canada Standard 006, which governs the MICR line, cheque dimensions, paper stock, and required security features. CPA compliance is what allows a cheque to clear at any Canadian bank or credit union, regardless of who printed it.

CPA Compliance Requirements

  • Correct MICR line formatting
  • Proper transit and institution number placement
  • Approved cheque dimensions
  • Accurate spacing and positioning
  • Bank-readable magnetic ink encoding
  • Security paper compatible with Canadian banking systems

When ordering from Print & Cheques Now, these specifications are built into every order automatically.

Single vs. Duplicate Personal Cheques

Single cheques are one per page. Duplicate cheques include a carbon copy behind each cheque, so you keep a record of who you paid and how much, without writing it down separately.

Feature Single Personal Cheques Duplicate Personal Cheques
Best for Occasional cheque writing Frequent cheque use & budgeting
Thickness Lighter and compact Slightly thicker with carbon copy
Record keeping Bank statements only Instant written copy retained
Most common use Everyday banking Rent, taxes, expense tracking
Cost Lower upfront cost Slightly higher with duplicate layer

Many Canadians choose duplicate personal cheques for budgeting, rent payments, tax records, and household expense tracking because they automatically keep a copy of every cheque written.

Personal Cheque Customization Options

Three colours: blue, brown, green. Personalized with your name, address, and starting cheque number. Clean, professional layouts designed to be easy for tellers and scanners to read.

Available Colour Options

Customers can currently choose from:

  • Blue
  • Brown
  • Green

Each colour is printed on premium bank-ready security stock and formatted according to Payments Canada standards.

Personalized Information

Your cheques can include:

  • your name
  • address
  • starting cheque number
  • optional duplicate format
  • custom numbering preferences

All information is proofed before printing to ensure accuracy before production begins.

Clean, Professional Layouts

Many customers prefer personal cheques that are easy to read, professional in appearance, and reliable during bank processing.

Our layouts are designed to balance:

  • readability
  • security positioning
  • professional appearance
  • processing reliability

This ensures your personal cheques Canada order remains functional, compliant, and easy to use for everyday banking.

More Security Features For The Same Price

Every personal cheque includes true watermark, toner adhesion, chemical sensitivities, and microprinting as standard security features, included in the price shown, not sold as an add-on.

Included Security Features

  • Heat-sensitive ink
  • MICR encoding
  • Microprinting
  • Toner adhesion
  • Chemical sensitivity protection
  • Premium bank-ready paper stock

These security layers help reduce cheque alteration, unauthorized duplication, and bank processing issues while maintaining full compatibility with Canadian banking systems.

Optional hologram upgrades are also available for customers wanting enhanced visual fraud protection.

Why MICR Encoding Matters

The MICR line at the bottom of your cheque, printed in magnetic ink, is what bank scanners read to process your cheque. Accurate MICR encoding is required for a cheque to clear, and it's built to Payments Canada spec on every order.

Improper MICR formatting can cause:

  • rejected deposits
  • bank reading errors
  • processing delays
  • manual verification issues

This is why professional cheque manufacturing matters. Print & Cheques Now uses verified MICR formatting standards specifically designed for Canadian banking systems.

What Canadians Say About Our Personal Cheques

Rated 4.9/5 from 800+ Google reviews.

"Ordered 100 cheques and got 160 delivered, exactly as promised. They look great and my bank accepted them without any issues. Way better value than ordering from my bank."

"Needed cheques quickly; used the rush option and had them the next day. My bank would have taken two weeks and couldn't do rush at all. Will be ordering here from now on."

TK
Trevor K.
Personal account, Toronto

"I've been a customer for 4 years. Cheques always look perfect, accepted everywhere, and the reorder process takes about 60 seconds. Getting 60% more cheques every time is incredible value."

Our Commitment

Two Guarantees on Every Order

Accuracy Guarantee

If there is ever a printing error on your order, Print & Cheques Now corrects and reprints your cheques at no additional cost.

🏢

Bank Acceptance Guarantee

Every personal cheque is 100% compliant with CPA 2006. If a Canadian bank rejects one, Print & Cheques Now reprints it at no charge.

Why Many Canadians Are Switching From Bank-Issued Cheques

Banks typically charge more per cheque and offer smaller quantities than ordering direct from a CPA Self-Accredited Printer at the same compliance standard.

Today, more Canadians are realizing they can receive:

  • the same bank compatibility
  • the same compliance standards
  • the same processing reliability
  • while paying less and receiving significantly more cheques.

Many customers also switch because they receive substantially better value on every order. Personal cheque orders include 60% more cheques free, while business customers receive 25% more Laser/Computer Cheques free and 50% more Manual Cheques free, often described as “buy 2, get 1 free” for manual formats.

Combined with AIR MILES® rewards, fast Canadian production, and included security features, many customers find they receive better overall value than ordering through their bank.

Many customers also prefer working directly with a Canadian manufacturer because turnaround times are faster, support is easier to reach, and pricing is more transparent.

Fast Printing and Delivery Across Canada

Same-day printing is available on orders placed by 2 PM EST, Monday through Friday, with next-day delivery available and free shipping included on every personal cheque order.

Print & Cheques Now offers:

  • optional same-day personal cheque printing
  • next-day delivery across Canada
  • fast reorder processing
  • digital proof approval before printing

Rush production is available for eligible orders placed before the daily cutoff time.

If you need help placing a rush order or confirming delivery timelines, call 1-866-760-2661 to speak directly with our Canadian support team.

Reordering Personal Cheques Is Simple

Once you order personal cheques the first time, Express Reorder recalls your saved colour, layout, and starting cheque number, so a repeat order takes under a minute.

Because your formatting and banking information are already saved:

  • no redesign is required
  • no setup process is repeated
  • reorder approval is faster
  • production moves quicker

Many repeat customers complete the reorder process in under a minute.

This is especially useful for customers who regularly reorder the same style, quantity, and numbering format.
