Precise control without a complicated workflow
Every cheque book can differ by bank, account and issue. The software saves a separate account profile so the printing coordinates, wording, currency and printer choice can be reused without recalibrating every cheque.
Upload a clear cheque reference, set its dimensions and move the date, payee, words, figures, crossing and optional fields into position. Font size, bold styling, prefix and suffix text can be reviewed in the preview before a test print.
Date, payee and amount fields can be enabled or disabled for an individual print. This is useful when a cheque will be dated later or when one field has already been completed separately.
Choose practical post-dated shortcuts such as 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 days, or select a custom date. For larger payment runs, import spreadsheet rows, validate names and numeric amounts, and review the batch before printing.
Cheque records, profiles and backups remain on the user’s Windows computer. A paid licence is designed to remain usable through its purchased period even if the activation service is temporarily unavailable.

Cheque formats vary by bank, account type and cheque-book issue — even two accounts at the same bank can differ. The software prints onto your own cheque at coordinates we set, so any format can be configured. We confirm and configure your exact format before setup.

Create bank and account profiles, then configure each template to match the exact cheque-book dimensions supplied by your bank.
Enter payment details
Enter the payee, amount and date. The software generates the amount in words and shows the result in the cheque preview before printing.
Load cheque book in printer
Place your original bank-issued cheque book in the paper tray of your laser printer. No special MICR printer needed.
Print — done in seconds
Hit print. The software fills in all fields perfectly aligned. Sign the cheque — ready to use. Zero handwriting errors, professional appearance.
The cheque printing software is built for heavy workloads. Whether you need to print 10 cheques for a week's supplier run or 100 cheques for a monthly payroll, the software processes the entire batch in a single session without restarting or resetting. One of our UAE clients prints over 100 cheques per sitting every month — the software handles it without any performance issues.
The bulk print module lets you load multiple cheque entries into a queue, review each one on screen, and print them all in sequence. You enter each payee, amount, and date — or import them from a spreadsheet — and the software fills the words line automatically for every entry. No manual conversion needed.
Open the Bulk Print module
Select your bank and account. The cheque template loads with the correct field positions for your UAE bank.
Add cheque entries to the queue
Enter payee name, AED amount, and date for each cheque. The software converts the amount to words (e.g., "Fifty Thousand Dirhams Only") automatically. Add entries one by one or import from a spreadsheet.
Preview each cheque before printing
See every cheque on screen exactly as it will print. Catch errors before they reach the cheque leaf. Edit any entry directly from the preview.
Load your cheque leaves and print the batch
Feed the cheque leaves into your printer. The software prints each one in sequence — no stopping between cheques unless you pause the queue. For 100-cheque batches, load cheques in sets of 10-20 and let the queue run.
Real estate agencies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah process large volumes of rent cheques every month. A property management company with 30 properties may need to print 30-120 PDC cheques for their clients at the start of each lease cycle. The bulk print module makes this a 30-minute job rather than a full day of hand-writing.
Trading companies with multiple suppliers often issue 20-50 cheques per payment run. Instead of filling each cheque by hand — risking errors on the words line — the accounts team loads all supplier payments into the software and prints them in one batch. Consistent, professional output every time.
Construction firms in UAE routinely issue weekly or bi-weekly payment batches — subcontractors, material suppliers, equipment hire companies. When payment runs involve 50+ cheques, the software's bulk queue eliminates the bottleneck at the accounts desk.
Jebel Ali, Dubai Airport Free Zone, Sharjah Airport Free Zone — companies in UAE free zones regularly process bulk payment cheques. Multiple accounts, multiple currencies (AED, USD, EUR equivalent), all managed through one installation of the software.
✔ Pre-sort cheques by bank — load all Emirates NBD cheques first, then ADCB, then FAB. Switch account layouts between sets to keep print positions accurate.
✔ Use a laser printer for large batches — inkjet printers are slower and toner can smear if cheques are stacked immediately. A laser printer handles 100-cheque batches cleanly.
✔ Print a test page before each bank — even if you have printed from this bank before, a quick overlay test on plain paper confirms alignment before committing to cheque leaves.
✔ Save your cheque entries before printing — the software stores each entry in the cheque history. If a cheque leaf jams or misprints, you can reprint from history without re-entering the details.
✔ Review the print queue before starting — scroll through all entries in the queue, confirm payees and amounts. Printing 100 cheques and then discovering one entry has the wrong amount wastes 1 cheque leaf and requires a reprint.
The software generates these automatically. This reference covers amounts most frequently used in UAE bulk payment runs.

UAE businesses issue post-dated cheques (PDC) for recurring obligations — monthly rent, supplier retainers, installment payments. Instead of printing each cheque individually each month, the software lets you set up a recurring cheque schedule: enter the payee, amount, and start date once, specify how many cheques (e.g., 12 months), and the software generates the entire series with the correct dates and amounts.
A post-dated cheque (PDC) is a cheque written with a future date. In UAE, PDC is the standard method for paying rent — landlords accept 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12 cheques covering the annual rent, each dated for a future month. Banks only process the cheque on or after the date written on it. UAE law recognises PDC as a legally binding payment commitment.
Beyond rent, UAE businesses use PDC for: monthly supplier payments, service retainer fees, equipment hire agreements, loan repayments, and franchise fee schedules. Any regular payment where both parties agree on a fixed monthly amount is typically handled with PDC cheques.
Enter the payment details once
Payee name, AED amount per cheque, start date, number of cheques. For a 12-month rent at AED 5,000 per month: payee = landlord name, amount = 5,000, start = first payment date, count = 12.
Software generates the full series
All 12 cheques appear in the queue: Cheque 1 dated month 1, Cheque 2 dated month 2, and so on. Each cheque shows the amount in words already filled in: "Five Thousand Dirhams Only".
Preview, confirm, and print all at once
Scroll through the series to verify dates and amounts. Print the entire batch in one session — load 12 cheque leaves and print. Hand the stack to the landlord or supplier.
Series is saved in cheque history
The entire series is stored in the software's history. If any cheque needs to be reprinted (damaged, incorrect), retrieve it from history and reprint — no need to re-enter all the details.
For recurring payments, the PDC date calculator helps you determine the correct future dates before printing. Enter the first payment date and number of months — the calculator outputs all 12 dates (or however many you need). Use these dates when setting up the recurring series in the software.
Monthly Supplier Retainers
Many UAE businesses pay service providers (cleaning companies, security firms, maintenance contractors) on a fixed monthly basis. Issue 6 or 12 PDC cheques at the start of the contract — the supplier has payment security, your accounts team has one less task each month.
Equipment and Vehicle Hire
Equipment rental companies and vehicle fleet providers in UAE prefer PDC over monthly invoices. A 12-month hire agreement typically involves 12 post-dated cheques issued at signing. The software prints the complete series in one session — dates and amounts pre-filled.
Commercial Office and Warehouse Rent
Commercial landlords in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah widely accept 4-cheque annual rent (quarterly payments). Some accept 12 monthly PDC cheques for larger tenants. The software handles any recurring interval.
Installment Purchase Agreements
Buying equipment, furniture, or machinery from a UAE supplier on installment? Issue post-dated cheques for each instalment. The software generates the exact series — same amount, sequential dates — and prints them ready to hand over.
| Monthly Amount | Annual Total | In Words on Cheque |
|---|---|---|
| AED 3,000 | 36,000/yr | Three Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 4,500 | 54,000/yr | Four Thousand Five Hundred Dirhams Only |
| AED 5,000 | 60,000/yr | Five Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 6,250 | 75,000/yr | Six Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dirhams Only |
| AED 7,000 | 84,000/yr | Seven Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 8,333 | 100,000/yr | Eight Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Three Dirhams Only |
| AED 10,000 | 120,000/yr | Ten Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 12,500 | 150,000/yr | Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dirhams Only |
| AED 16,667 | 200,000/yr | Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Seven Dirhams Only |
| AED 25,000 | 300,000/yr | Twenty Five Thousand Dirhams Only |
UAE's rental market runs on cheques. Whether you manage 5 properties or 500, every new lease generates a batch of post-dated cheques that need to be accurate, professional, and on time. The cheque printing software is used by real estate brokers, property management companies, and tenants across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, RAK, and Fujairah.
UAE landlords typically accept cheques in these formats. Each has a different cheque count per lease year:
| Format | Cheques per Year | Each Cheque Amount | Common In |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-cheque annual | 1 | Full annual rent | Premium units, established landlords |
| 2-cheque semi-annual | 2 | 50% each | Common across Dubai, Abu Dhabi |
| 4-cheque quarterly | 4 | 25% each | Most common for residential UAE |
| 6-cheque | 6 | ~16.7% each | Some landlords, commercial units |
| 12-cheque monthly | 12 | 1/12 each month | Flexible landlords, new properties |
A typical Dubai broker handles 10-30 active leases at any given time. At the start of each new tenancy or renewal, they need to print a set of PDC cheques. Here is how the workflow looks with the software:
New lease signed
Tenant confirms annual rent (e.g., AED 72,000/year on a 4-cheque basis = AED 18,000 per cheque). Enter the tenant's bank details into the software — select Emirates NBD, enter the account layout if first time.
Set up the 4-cheque PDC series
Payee = landlord's name, Amount = 18,000 AED, Start = first payment date, Count = 4 (quarterly). The software generates all 4 entries with the correct dates: months 1, 4, 7, and 10.
Print all 4 cheques in 5 minutes
Load 4 cheque leaves from the tenant's cheque book. Preview each on screen. Print. The words line reads "Eighteen Thousand Dirhams Only" — precisely formatted, no handwriting errors.
Lease recorded in cheque history
All 4 cheques appear in the software's history with their dates. When the lease renews next year, pull up the history, update the dates, and print the new series — most details are already filled in.
| Annual Rent | 4-Cheque Amount | In Words |
|---|---|---|
| AED 36,000 | 9,000 | Nine Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 48,000 | 12,000 | Twelve Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 60,000 | 15,000 | Fifteen Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 72,000 | 18,000 | Eighteen Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 84,000 | 21,000 | Twenty One Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 96,000 | 24,000 | Twenty Four Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 108,000 | 27,000 | Twenty Seven Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 120,000 | 30,000 | Thirty Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 144,000 | 36,000 | Thirty Six Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 180,000 | 45,000 | Forty Five Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 200,000 | 50,000 | Fifty Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 240,000 | 60,000 | Sixty Thousand Dirhams Only |
Dubai rental payments are regulated under RERA. Cheques are the standard payment method. Most Dubai landlords accept 1, 2, or 4 cheques annually. Emirates NBD, ADCB, and FAB are the most common tenant banks. Common annual rents range from AED 36,000 (studio) to AED 240,000+ (villa).
Abu Dhabi rental market commonly uses 2 or 4 cheques per year. ADCB and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) cheque books are the most common. Annual rents in Abu Dhabi City range from AED 48,000 (studio) to AED 300,000+ (premium villa).
Sharjah is one of the most affordable rental markets in UAE. Many Sharjah landlords accept up to 12 monthly cheques, making the software particularly useful — printing 12 cheques for each tenancy manually takes significant time. Annual rents in Sharjah start from around AED 18,000.
Northern Emirates landlords are often flexible on cheque count — some accept monthly cheques for the right tenant. RAKBANK, Mashreq, and NBF are common in RAK. The software covers all northern emirate banks and handles any number of PDC cheques in a series.
Property management companies in UAE managing 50 or more units may process 200-600 cheque transactions per quarter. At this volume, hand-writing cheques is impractical. The software's bulk print capability combined with the recurring PDC scheduler reduces the cheque preparation workload to a fraction of the manual time.
Common property management workflows: collect tenant cheques via the software, track upcoming PDC dates in the history module, reprint any damaged or incorrect cheques from history without re-entering data, and switch between multiple accounts (different properties, different bank accounts) within the same session.
Every cheque printed through the software is automatically stored in the local cheque history. The history lets you review what was printed, when, for which payee, and for how much. For businesses managing multiple PDC series, the upcoming cheque view shows which post-dated cheques are due in the coming weeks and months.
Every cheque entry stores: payee name, AED amount (both figures and words), cheque date, bank and account used, and print timestamp. Review any past cheque at a glance.
If a cheque leaf jams in the printer or the payee requests a replacement, open the history entry and reprint. All the details — payee, amount, words, date — are already filled in.
For post-dated cheque series, the upcoming view shows which cheques have a future date — listed in chronological order. Know which payments are due this month and next, without searching through paper records.
Search history by payee name, amount, or date range. Find any cheque from the last month or last year in seconds. Filter by bank account to review all cheques from a specific account.
In UAE, banks process a PDC cheque on the date written on it — if the account has insufficient funds on that date, the cheque bounces. The software's upcoming cheque view helps you stay ahead: you can see all post-dated cheques due in the next 30, 60, or 90 days, allowing the account holder to ensure funds are available before the date arrives.
For businesses managing multiple PDC obligations — rent for office space, rent for warehouse, equipment hire, supplier retainers — the upcoming view consolidates everything into one calendar. See total upcoming payments by week or month to plan your accounts accordingly.
The cheque history is stored locally on your Windows PC — not on a cloud server. This means your financial records are private, accessible at any time even without internet, and not dependent on any third-party service staying operational. The software works fully offline after the initial activation.
Every UAE bank is supported. Ready-built templates ship for the banks above; for any other bank the layout engine generates the template and you confirm the field positions with the calibration tool — typically a 10-15 minute process, once. Once saved, all future cheques from that account print correctly.
Emirates NBD
Largest UAE bank. Standard cheque format with amount words on the second line. ENBD cheques print cleanly on both laser and inkjet.
First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)
FAB (merged from FGB and NBAD) cheques. Amount words field is clearly labelled. FAB cheques are common among Abu Dhabi businesses.
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB)
ADCB has a distinct cheque layout. Pre-configured template covers all ADCB accounts. Common among Abu Dhabi government-linked companies.
Mashreq Bank
Mashreq is popular with SMEs and trading companies. The software supports Mashreq Neo and standard Mashreq cheque formats.
Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB)
ADIB cheques have bilingual field labels (Arabic/English). The software handles ADIB cheque format and prints the amount words field accurately.
Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB)
DIB is one of the largest Islamic banks globally. Standard cheque format, well-supported in the software. Common among Dubai businesses.
RAKBANK (National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah)
RAKBANK is popular in northern UAE. Known for SME-friendly accounts. Software covers RAKBANK cheque format fully.
Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD)
CBD cheques are common among Dubai's trading community. Standard format — the layout engine builds the template during setup.
HSBC UAE
HSBC operates internationally and the UAE cheque format aligns with UAE banking standards. Software supports HSBC UAE cheque printing.
Standard Chartered UAE
Standard Chartered UAE cheque books. Common among expatriate professionals and international businesses. Supported in the software.
Emirates Islamic Bank
Emirates Islamic (EIB) cheque format. Popular among UAE nationals and Islamic finance customers. Software covers EIB cheque layout.
National Bank of Fujairah (NBF)
NBF is common in northern UAE. Fujairah and Sharjah businesses use NBF accounts. Supported in the software.
If your business operates across multiple GCC countries — UAE office paying AED rent, Qatar branch paying QAR suppliers, Saudi Arabia division issuing SAR cheques — one installation of the software handles all of them. Switch between AED, QAR, SAR, OMR, KWD and BHD cheque accounts within a single session.
Every UAE bank cheque has the same core fields: date, payee name, amount in figures, amount in words, and signature. Getting all five fields correct — especially the amount in words — is critical. A mismatch between figures and words can lead to cheque rejection at the bank. The cheque printing software fills all fields correctly and automatically.
| Field | What to Write | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Day / Month / Year in the boxes provided. For PDC, use the future payment date. | 01 / 10 / 2026 |
| Pay to | Full name of the individual or company receiving the cheque. Must match their bank-registered name. | ACME Trading LLC |
| Amount (figures) | Numeric amount. Write it close to the AED symbol to prevent alteration. Use a decimal point for fils. | AED 12,500.00 |
| Amount (words) | Amount spelled out in full English. Must match the figures exactly. End with "Only". This is the line the software fills automatically. | Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dirhams Only |
| Signature | Authorised signatory. Must match the signature on file at your bank. The only field not printed by the software — sign manually after printing. | — |
✗ Mismatch between figures and words
Writing AED 12,500 in the box but "Twelve Thousand Dirhams Only" in words. UAE banks will reject or query the cheque. Fix: The software generates the words directly from the figures — they always match.
✗ Incorrect payee name
Writing "Mr Ahmed" when the bank account is registered as "Ahmed Mohammed Al Rashidi Trading LLC". Banks match payee names against account records. Fix: Use the full legal name of the payee as registered with their bank.
✗ Leaving blank spaces in the amount fields
Gaps before or after the amount in figures can allow fraud alterations. Fix: Write amounts close to the currency symbol; the software handles this automatically.
✗ Incorrect date format
UAE banks use DD/MM/YYYY. Writing 10/01/2026 is ambiguous — is it January 10 or October 1? Fix: The software formats dates in the standard UAE format automatically.
✗ Overwriting or using correction fluid
Corrected cheques (whitened out, overwritten) are rejected by most UAE banks. Fix: If a cheque is misprinted, discard the leaf and reprint from the software's history. Never alter a printed cheque.
✓ Correct format example

When a payment amount includes fils (the fractional currency, like pence in GBP), the words format changes. For example, AED 1,312.50 is written as "One Thousand Three Hundred Twelve Dirhams and Fifty Fils Only". The software handles all fils combinations — .25, .50, .75 — automatically.
| Amount (AED) | In Words (with Fils) |
|---|---|
| 262.50 | Two Hundred Sixty Two Dirhams and Fifty Fils Only |
| 472.25 | Four Hundred Seventy Two Dirhams and Twenty Five Fils Only |

The cheque printing software runs on Windows (7, 8, 10, 11 — 32 and 64-bit). Installation takes under 5 minutes. Once installed, setup your bank account template, run a calibration test on plain paper, and you are ready to print your first cheque. Most users print their first real cheque within 30 minutes of downloading.
Download and install
Download the setup file from the download page. Run the installer as administrator. The software installs to C:\Program Files\ChequeWriter (or your chosen directory). No internet connection required after installation.
Add your bank account
Go to Accounts → Add New Account. Select your bank from the list (Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB, Mashreq, ADIB, RAKBANK, Emirates Islamic, Sharjah Islamic Bank and more). If your bank is listed, the template is ready — skip to step 4. If not, proceed to step 3 and the engine builds it for you.
Calibrate field positions (new bank)
If your bank is not pre-configured: print a position guide on plain A4, hold it over a cheque leaf, and measure the pixel offsets for each field (date, payee, figures, words). Enter these offsets in the calibration screen. Save the template. This is a one-time process per bank account type.
Print a test on plain paper
Before using real cheque leaves, print a test cheque on plain A4 paper. Place the printout over a blank cheque leaf and hold it up to light. Verify that all printed fields land within the correct boxes. Adjust if needed. This prevents wasting cheque leaves on alignment errors.
Print your first real cheque
Load one cheque leaf into the printer's manual feed tray. Enter payee, amount, and date in the software. Click Print. The software fills the amount in words automatically. Remove the printed cheque, sign it, and it's ready to issue.
Any standard inkjet or laser printer connected to your Windows PC will work. For bulk cheque printing (50+ cheques per session), a laser printer is strongly recommended — laser toner dries instantly, produces consistent sharp text, and handles high volumes without the nozzle-clogging risk of inkjet printers.
For occasional use (under 20 cheques per month), a standard inkjet printer is sufficient. The most important requirement is a manual feed tray or single-sheet bypass — cheque leaves must be fed one at a time and cannot go through an automatic document feeder (ADF) designed for standard A4 paper only.
UAE businesses across every sector rely on cheques for B2B payments. Despite digital payment growth, cheques remain the preferred method for large transactions, PDC commitments, and government-related payments. The software is used by trading companies, real estate firms, construction contractors, manufacturing plants, hospitality groups, and retail chains across all seven UAE emirates.
UAE's property sector runs almost entirely on PDC cheques for rent. A mid-size real estate agency in Dubai handling 50 active leases will process 50-200 PDC cheques per quarter, depending on whether tenants pay 1, 2, 4, or 12 cheques. Property managers use the software to: print new tenant PDC series at lease signing, reprint replacement cheques when leaves are damaged, track upcoming cheque dates to alert tenants, and switch between multiple landlord accounts in one session.
Common amounts: AED 9,000 (studio 1-cheque quarterly) to AED 60,000 (villa quarterly)
UAE is a major trading hub — Jebel Ali Port is the largest in the Middle East and handles goods from 150+ countries. Trading companies in Dubai's free zones issue cheques to overseas suppliers (in AED equivalent), local clearance agents, warehouse operators, and logistics providers. A typical import/export company in Jebel Ali runs 30-80 supplier payment cheques per month. The bulk print module processes a full supplier payment run in one session, and cheque history provides a clean audit trail for accounts.
Common amounts: AED 5,000 to AED 500,000 per transaction
UAE's construction sector processes enormous volumes of cheques — for subcontractors, material suppliers, plant hire companies, and professional services. Project-based payment schedules mean multiple cheque runs per month tied to project milestones. The software's recurring payment feature is valuable for monthly retention payments, equipment hire installments, and fixed-fee consultant retainers. Construction accounts teams typically manage 50-150 active payees across multiple projects.
Common amounts: AED 10,000 to AED 2,000,000 per transaction
UAE's manufacturing base — in KIZAD, Dubai Industrial City, Sharjah Industrial Area — runs regular payment cycles for raw materials, utilities, and contract labor. Many manufacturing companies operate multiple bank accounts (payroll account, supplier account, overhead account) and need the flexibility to print from each. The software handles multiple accounts seamlessly and maintains separate cheque histories for each.
Common amounts: AED 8,000 to AED 200,000
Multi-location retail chains and hospitality groups across UAE process central payment cheques for rent (commercial leases), supplier payments, and staff-related payments. A retail group with 10 outlets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi might issue 40-60 cheques monthly for shop rents, FF&E suppliers, and maintenance contractors. The software handles central accounts for multi-entity businesses.
Common amounts: AED 15,000 to AED 150,000
Law firms, accounting practices, engineering consultancies, and business advisory firms in Dubai's DIFC, Abu Dhabi's ADGM, and across UAE issue cheques for office rent, supplier fees, and occasional client disbursements. While volumes are typically lower (5-20 cheques per month), accuracy is critical — professional services firms cannot afford to have a cheque with an incorrect words line. The software guarantees perfect words line output every time.
Common amounts: AED 3,000 to AED 100,000

PDC creates payment commitment
A post-dated cheque gives the payee a legal payment instrument with a specific future date. This is not possible with wire transfers or online payments, which happen instantly. PDC is the preferred mechanism for rent, installment payments, and long-term contracts.
Widely accepted across all UAE business types
Landlords, government suppliers, and major corporate accounts all accept cheques as standard payment. Not all payees accept digital transfers — especially for large amounts where the bank-verified cheque provides additional security.
Paper audit trail
Cheques create a physical audit trail: the payee's name, amount, date, and bank account are all on the instrument. For companies subject to audit (and most UAE businesses with employees above certain thresholds are), cheques provide clear documentation of payment intent.
No transaction fees
UAE domestic bank transfers sometimes carry fees depending on the bank and amount. Cheque deposits are typically free at UAE banks. For high-frequency payment businesses, this makes cheques more cost-effective for routine supplier payments.
