Anatomy of a Cheque:
This diagram should help clarify some of the options required to order your cheques. (click to enlarge)




Description of options on this form:

QUANTITY: In order to allow our customers to benefit from quantity discounts, quantities are shown with per lot (/lot) pricing.  Please select your desired quantity here, and leave the quantity at the bottom of the order form as "1"

BACKGROUND COLOUR: This colour will apply to the pantograph, borders and stubs. Please select from one of the colours shown here:

SIGNATURE LINES:  Some bank accounts require 2 signatures on cheques while others require only 1.

CONSECUTIVE NUMBERING:  According to the new cheque standards published by the Canadian Payments Association (CPA), all cheques in Canada now require consecutive numbering in the MICR line of the cheque (see "Anatomy of a Cheque" above).  We can also print consecutive numbering on your cheques and stubs.  If you prefer for your cheques to be numbered in the MICR line only (i.e. if your software fills in numbering on the cheques and stubs), please make note of this in the "Special Instructions" section this form.

REPEAT ORDERS:  For existing Safeguard customers who wish to order cheques with exactly the same information printed as on previous orders please select this option, you may skip the rest of the order form.

TRANSIT NUMBER:  Please see "Anatomy of a Cheque" diagram above.

ACCOUNT NUMBER:  Please see "Anatomy of a Cheque" diagram above.

COMPANY IMPRINT:  Standard imprint usually includes company name and address.  We can also print your company logo (black only), other contact information (such as phone, fax or email address), and/or an account identifier (such as "US Dollar Account", "Trust Account", Payroll Account" etc).  Logos can be emailed to info@safeguardconcepts.com, or submitted here.

COMPANY'S LEGAL NAME:  By printing the legal company name above the signature area and including the word "PER" before the signature line you are showing that the signing athority is signing on behalf of the company.  If these elements are not printed on your cheque it is possible that the signing authority could be held personally liable for the amount on the cheque.

ACCOUNT REFERENCE:  For companies with multiple bank accounts, this reference helps to keep track of which cheques are for which account.  This will help you both internally and when contacting Safeguard to re-order.  If you would like us to print this reference either in the "Company Imprint" area, below your company's legal name above the signature line(s), and/or on your stubs, please indicate this in "Special Instructions".

BANK NAME & ADDRESS:  Standard requirement on all Canadian cheques.

"PAYABLE THROUGH...":  Many Canadian banks have special U.S. accounts which use a clearing system sometimes referred to as "rapid recognition." If there is a line of text accross the top of your cheques that begins with "Payable through..." please select this option and enter the text exactly as it appears on your cheques in the "Special Instructions" section of this form.  Please also provide us with the "Routing and Transit" (or R&T) number, usually expressed as a fraction and found to the right of the bank name and address.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:  Please include any additional information here that will help us to print your order exactly as you would like it.
