Does EasyCheck Work on Mac? Yes. Cheque Printing Software for macOS in the UAE
One of the most common questions we get from UAE businesses is whether EasyCheck works on a Mac or MacBook. It does. The EasyCheck Business Plus and Premium plans run in your web browser, so they work on macOS exactly as they do on Windows, with nothing to install and no Windows PC kept in the corner just for cheques. This guide covers what you need, how printing works from a Mac, and why most other cheque software in the UAE cannot do this.

Does EasyCheck work on Mac?
Yes. The EasyCheck Business Plus and Premium plans work on Mac. EasyCheck is online cheque printing software. It runs in the browser at app.easycheckpro.com, so it works on any MacBook running macOS, whether that is a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, in Safari, Chrome or any other modern browser. You log in, select your bank account, enter the cheque details and print to the laser printer connected to your Mac. Nothing is installed, and the same account works on a Windows PC too.
Why most UAE cheque software does not run on Mac
Most cheque printing software sold in the UAE is desktop software written for Windows. It has to be installed on a Windows PC, its licence is usually tied to that machine, and its bank templates live on that machine too. If your finance team works on Macs, the usual workarounds are a spare Windows laptop kept only for cheques, or a virtual machine, or writing cheques by hand.
None of those is a good answer. A dedicated cheque PC is one more machine to maintain and back up. A virtual machine adds licensing cost and complexity for a task that should take a minute. And handwriting is where the errors come from in the first place.
EasyCheck was built as an online application rather than a Windows program, so the question of which operating system you use does not come up. If the machine has a browser and a printer, it prints cheques.
One more thing to know: most of the Mac cheque apps you will find online are American check printing tools that print the whole cheque, MICR line included, onto blank check stock. UAE cheques do not work that way. Your bank issues the cheque book, and you print only the payee, date and amounts onto it, so those apps do not align with a UAE cheque leaf. EasyCheck is built for the bank-issued model.
What you need on a Mac
- A MacBook running macOS: MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. There is no minimum specification beyond running a current browser.
- A modern browser: Safari or Google Chrome are the usual choices.
- A standard laser printer connected by USB, Wi-Fi or the office network. No dedicated cheque printer.
- Your bank cheque book: you print onto the leaves your bank already issued.
- An EasyCheck Business Plus or Premium account: these are the plans that run on Mac.
Setup is the same on a Mac as anywhere else: add your bank account, configure the cheque template once from your own cheque book, and print. Most businesses print their first cheque the same day.
Printing cheques from a Mac
Printing works through the standard macOS print dialog, the same one you use for any document. When you click Print in EasyCheck, choose your laser printer, load the cheque leaf in the correct orientation and print. The cheque details land in the positions saved in your bank template.
Two habits make the first few prints trouble-free on any machine, Mac included:
- Test on plain A4 first. Print one test, hold it against a cheque leaf and confirm the fields line up. If anything is a millimetre off, adjust the template once and save.
- Check the print dialog scale. Make sure the print is set to actual size, not "fit to page", so the alignment you configured is preserved.
Everything else, from the amount converted to words to the cheque number sequence, is handled by EasyCheck before the print job reaches the printer.

FAQ: Cheque Printing on Mac
Q1: Does EasyCheck work on Mac?
Yes. The EasyCheck Business Plus and Premium plans work on Mac. They run in your web browser, so they work on any Mac running macOS. Open app.easycheckpro.com in Safari, Chrome or another modern browser, log in and print. There is nothing to install and no Windows PC is needed.
Q2: Which EasyCheck plans work on Mac?
Business Plus (AED 1,200 for 3 years) and Premium (AED 3,000 for 3 years). Both run in the browser on macOS with nothing to install. Business Plus includes bulk cheque printing, bulk PDC and the Zoho Books integration; Premium adds document attachment with 1 TB of storage.
Q3: Does EasyCheck work on a MacBook?
Yes. A MacBook Air or MacBook Pro runs EasyCheck through the browser: open app.easycheckpro.com in Safari or Chrome, log in and print to a laser printer connected by USB, Wi-Fi or your office network. The Business Plus and Premium plans both work this way, with nothing to install.
Q4: Is there any software I can use to print cheques on my MacBook in the UAE?
Yes. EasyCheck is cheque printing software that runs on a MacBook through the browser and prints onto UAE bank cheque leaves. Most Mac cheque apps you will find online are American check printing tools built for blank check stock with a MICR line, which is not how cheques work in the UAE. EasyCheck prints the payee, date, amount and amount in words onto the cheque book your UAE bank issued you, for any bank.
Q5: Do I need to download or install anything on my Mac?
No. EasyCheck is cloud-based. You log in through the browser, and your bank templates, beneficiaries and cheque history are stored in your account rather than on the machine. Your templates and history are always there when you log in.
Q6: Which browsers on Mac are supported?
Any current version of a modern browser, including Safari and Google Chrome. If your Mac can browse the web normally, it can run EasyCheck.
Q7: Which printer can print a cheque from a Mac?
Yes. EasyCheck prints to any standard laser printer connected to your Mac, whether by USB, Wi-Fi or the office network. No dedicated cheque printer and no special stationery: you print onto the cheque leaves your bank already issued you.
Q8: Why does most UAE cheque printing software not work on Mac?
Because most of it is desktop software written for Windows, so it has to be installed on a Windows PC. EasyCheck was built as an online application from the start, which is why it runs anywhere a browser does, including macOS.
Q9: Does the cheque align correctly when printed from a Mac?
Yes. Alignment comes from the template you configure for your bank account (scan a blank cheque leaf and position each field, or enter the measurements), not from the operating system. Once the template is saved, it prints identically from a Mac or a PC. Print one test on plain A4 first, as you would on any machine.
Q10: Which banks can I print for from a Mac?
Any UAE or GCC bank. You configure a template from your own cheque book for each account you use, including Emirates NBD, ADCB, FAB, Mashreq, DIB, RAKBANK and others. Unlimited templates are included on every plan.
Q11: How much does EasyCheck cost?
EasyCheck is a one-time 3-year licence with no monthly subscription and no per-cheque fees. The Starter plan is AED 750, Business Plus (with bulk and PDC printing) is AED 1,200, and Premium (with document attachment) is AED 3,000. After Year 3, optional annual renewal is AED 300โ1,000/year depending on plan.
