Why UAE Businesses Are Switching to Online Cheque Printing Software
For two decades, cheque printing in the UAE meant software installed on one office PC. Today, finance teams are moving that workflow to the cloud — printing, tracking and managing every cheque from any device, with nothing to install. Here's why the shift is happening, and what it means for your business.

What is online cheque printing software?
Online cheque printing software — also called cloud cheque printing, cheque writing software or an online cheque writer — is a web-based platform that lets a business print cheques directly onto its bank-issued cheque books, and manage every cheque record, from any device with a browser — without installing software on a specific computer. Unlike desktop tools, it keeps cheque records, post-dated cheque (PDC) schedules and supporting documents securely online, accessible to the whole finance team. EasyCheck is a cloud cheque printing platform built for UAE and GCC businesses.
Desktop cheque printing software is holding finance teams back
Desktop cheque printing software did its job for years, but the model has real limits for a modern UAE finance team:
- One machine, one location. The software — and every cheque record — lives on a single office PC. If that computer fails or is replaced, you have to install the software all over again — and your cheque history can be stranded or lost. If a staff member is out, no one else can print either.
- No remote access. Teams working across branches, or anyone away from the office, simply can't print or check a cheque. A manager or business owner can't log in to see upcoming cheque dates and PDC commitments whenever they need to — they have to be at that one PC.
- Records scattered across the business. PDC dates end up in a separate Excel tracker, supplier invoices sit in email folders, and there's no single audit trail when an auditor or the bank asks a question.
- Manual backups and IT upkeep. Keeping the data safe is your responsibility — and one corrupted file or skipped backup can mean losing years of cheque history.
- Updates are a chore. New bank cheque layout? You wait for a new install rather than an automatic update.
We know these limitations well — because we built desktop cheque printing software ourselves, long before anyone else in the UAE.
A cloud platform built on two decades of cheque expertise
EasyCheck has been part of the UAE cheque printing software market since 2004. Our desktop product became a trusted standard for UAE businesses and is still relied on by banks in the UAE and Oman today. That experience taught us exactly where the desktop model holds finance teams back — so we rebuilt it as a secure cloud platform.
EasyCheck now delivers the same cheque accuracy businesses have trusted since 2004, with none of the desktop limitations:
- Nothing to install. Open a browser, log in, print. Works on standard laser printers, in any office.
- Every record in one secure place. Cheque history, PDC schedules and attached documents live in the cloud — backed up, access-controlled, and available to your whole team.
- Built for the whole GCC. Configurable cheque templates for any bank, with full multi-currency support across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait (AED, SAR, QAR, OMR, BHD, KWD).
What you get with cloud cheque printing — beyond just printing
The biggest shift isn't only where you print — it's that EasyCheck manages the whole cheque lifecycle, not just the print step.
Accurate printing on any bank's cheque book. Configure your bank's layout once (scan and align, or enter measurements) and print perfectly aligned cheques every time, with automatic amount-to-words conversion.
Visual PDC calendar. See every upcoming post-dated cheque on a colour-coded monthly calendar — amounts and beneficiaries at a glance. It replaces the Excel PDC tracker entirely.
Bulk and recurring cheques. Generate a full series of recurring PDCs for rent, suppliers or installment agreements, preview every date, and print the batch in one run.
Document attachments and audit trail. Attach the invoice, LPO or receipt to each cheque record. When a tax audit or bank query comes, the supporting document is one click away.
Cheque tracking and reporting. Track every cheque from issue to clearance, filter by bank, and export a clean cheque history for reconciliation — no spreadsheets, no chasing.
Multi-user, role-based access. Your whole finance team works from the same live data, with the right permissions.
Who benefits most from the switch
- Trading companies printing dozens of supplier cheques at month-end.
- Construction and contracting firms issuing subcontractor PDC batches.
- Real estate and property management handling rental PDC schedules across many tenants.
- Multi-branch businesses that need to print and check cheques from more than one location.
- Finance teams that want an audit-ready record behind every payment.

FAQ: Online & Cloud Cheque Printing
Q1: Is cloud cheque printing software secure?
Yes. EasyCheck stores cheque data on secure cloud infrastructure with role-based access controls, so only authorised team members can view or print. Records are backed up automatically — no reliance on a single office PC.
Q2: Can I switch from desktop cheque software to the cloud easily?
Yes. You set up each bank's cheque template once — by scanning and visually aligning the fields, or entering measurements — and you're ready to print. The EasyCheck team walks you through setup during your demo.
Q3: Do I need to install anything?
No. EasyCheck runs entirely in your browser and prints on standard laser printers. There's nothing to install and no special hardware required.
Q4: Does cloud cheque printing work for all UAE and GCC banks?
Yes. You can configure unlimited cheque templates for any bank, with multi-currency support across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait.
Q5: Is a cheque writer the same as cheque printing software?
Yes. "Cheque writer," "cheque printer" and "cheque writing software" all describe the same thing — software that prints cheque details onto your bank cheque book instead of writing by hand. EasyCheck is an online cheque writer that also manages PDCs, records and reports.
Q6: Is it legal to print cheques with software in the UAE?
Yes. You print on your own official bank-issued cheque books; the software simply formats and aligns the details accurately, which reduces the errors that cause cheque rejections.
